The week's question
In March 2025, in the thread "Re: OT, out", Umm asked the members: "Do you think it is because America is made up of magical soil that makes businesses based in America magically profitable?" 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.

As the democrats continue with their circular firing squad, the latest post-debate polling shows little to no change in candidate preference (Biden left, Trump right):

50%-48% NPR/Marist
44%-42% GW/YouGov
47%-46% Split Ticket/DfP
47%-46% Clarity
50%-50% Emerson
46%-46% WaPo
42%-43% R & W
42%-43% Bendixen/Amandi
41%-42% Big Village
42%-44% Morning Consult
40%-43% Econ/YouGov 1/

A new national NPR/PBS NewsHour/Marist poll finds "Biden actually gained a point since last month’s survey, which was taken before the debate. In this poll, he leads Trump 50% to 48% in a head-to-head matchup. But Biden slips when third-party options are introduced, with Trump holding the slightest advantage with 43% to 42%.

Contrary to what some here have insisted, there is a suggestion that Project 2025 is hurting Trump with voters.

Finally, no other mainstream democrat polls better than Biden against Trump. Vice President Harris gets 50% compared to 49% for Trump, California Gov. Gavin Newsom matches Biden at 50% to 48% over Trump. And Trump and Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer are tied at 49% to 49%.

So a Harris-Newson ticket? Or perhaps a Harris-Cooper ticket? Or a Harris-Shapiro ticket? Two women on the ticket seems unlikely.

But with these post-debate poll numbers, good luck getting Biden to voluntarily withdraw.
