“‘Democracy dies in darkness’ is the Washington Post’s slogan, but can it handle the light? The Post has been doggedly portraying the election between former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris as a choice between tyranny (Trump) and democracy (Harris). Yet when it commissioned a poll on threats to democracy shortly before the election, it did not quite work out. Voters in swing states deem the greater threat to democracy to be Kamala Harris, who is running on a ‘save democracy’ platform. The poll sampled 5,016 registered voters in Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. When asked whether Trump or Harris ‘would do a better job’ of ‘defending against threats to democracy,’ 43% picked Trump while 40% picked Harris.” (10/23/24)
