TRUTHDIG’S JOURNALISM REMAINS CLEARABC News:
On the vice presidential candidates, 52 percent of likely voters say McCain’s pick of Palin has made them less confident in the kind of decisions he’d make as president; that’s up 13 points since just after the selection, as doubts about Palin’s qualifications (also voiced by Powell on Sunday) have grown. Just 38 percent say it makes them more confident in McCain’s judgment, down 12 points.
Those numbers are more than reversed on Obama’s pick of Joe Biden: 56 percent of likely voters say it makes them more confident in Obama’s decision-making, 31 percent less so.
The storytellers of chaos tried to manipulate the political and media narrative in 2025, but independent journalism exposed what they tried to hide. When you read Truthdig, you see through the illusion.
