Politico Absurdly Skips Extreme Anti-Trump Political Bias of Firm Conducting Focus Group

Politico, leaning entirely on the results of a focus group consisting of nine (count 'em, NINE) people has been able to somehow determine what they see as a big political trend out there reflected in the title of this story on Friday by Samuel Benson, "These Gen-Z Trump voters don’t want JD Vance in 2028."

The subtitle reinforces what looks to be a dire (as projected by Politico based on the focus group NINE) political future for Vance: "A recent focus group of 18- to 24-year-old Trump voters suggests weaknesses for Vance among young Republicans."

The raccoon atop Frank Luntz's head would flip if it found out the size of this focus group.

It is overall ridiculous. The problem is though, journalists are master propagandists.

They likely did a 9 person group that included Nick Fuentes and his ilk, and those people genuinely do not like JD Vance. Vance's unpopularity with the Fuentes crowd is specifically because of his wife Usha.
