The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

LurkerMom: The Wall Street Journal survey questioned voters in Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, North Carolina, Nevada, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin, and found Trump leading his likely opponent in all of them except Wisconsin, where the pair tied.

Well, sure, the demographic percentages of those surveyed really seem legit:
 

TOTAL AZ GA MI NC NV PA WI

Total Liberal 26 24 23 27 25 27 27 26
Total Conservative 37 38 39 36 39 35 32 42

I don't see anything about adjustments for this bias.

But, regardless, here's the most pertinent question in the survey:

Between Donald Trump and Joe Biden, who in your opinion is BEST ABLE to handle the following issue?

ABORTION
 
TRUMP BIDEN

AZ 35 45
GA 32 42
MI 32 49
NC 36 40
NV 30 45
PA 32 46
WI 35 47

Oopsie.

Biden also outscores Trump in every surveyed state except NV for "protecting democracy".

But hey, it's April... so all this is meaningless but it made me laugh, so there's that.
