Improve The News is a free news aggregator and news analysis site developed by a group of researchers at MIT and elsewhere to improve your access to trustworthy news. Many website algorithms push you (for ad revenue) into a filter bubble by reinforcing the narratives you impulse-click on. By understanding other people’s arguments, you understand why they do what they do – and have a better chance of persuading them. **What's establishment bias?** The establishment view is what all big parties and powers agree on, which varies between countries and over time. For example, the old establishment view that women shouldn’t be allowed to vote was successfully challenged. ITN makes it easy for you to compare the perspectives of the pro-establishment mainstream media with those of smaller establishment-critical news outlets that you won’t find in most other news aggregators.

Former Pres. Donald Trump leads Pres. Joe Biden by 10 percentage points in a new Washington Post/ABC poll released Sunday. The large margin for the Republican frontrunner significantly differs from most other public polls Washington Post (LR: 2 CP: 5)
In a hypothetical November 2024 matchup, Trump — the frontrunner for the GOP nomination according to polling — has 51% support to Biden’s 42%. Biden’s job approval rating is 37% overall. ABC News
Meanwhile, 48% say they approve of the job Trump did while in office, with 49% saying they disapprove. Trump had a 38% approval rating when he left office in January 2021. Daily Mail (LR: 5 CP: 5)
Biden's handling of the economy has hit the low point of his term at 30%, with 75% of Americans saying they believe the economy is "not so good" or "poor." Daily Mail (LR: 5 CP: 5)
Shortly after releasing the poll, the Washington Post suggested in a statement that the difference between its poll and most others — which show the candidates in a "virtual dead heat" — means this poll is "probably an outlier." Daily Caller (LR: 5 CP: 4)
An NBC poll also released over the weekend showed similar results when it came to Biden’s approval rating and feelings about the economy, but it showed Biden and Trump even at 46% support each. NBC (LR: 2 CP: 4)

Democratic narrative:

All signs are pointing toward a close race, so the idea that Biden might wind up losing by double digits is preposterous. Although a close race should be a warning sign to the incumbent president, remember that Biden was underestimated in 2020, and many thought Democrats would get trounced in the 2022 midterms. Throughout his career, Biden has been a triumphant underdog.

Republican narrative:

The president’s approval rating has been dropping precipitously for months, so the fact that he might be behind Trump by 10 or more points at this stage shouldn't be a surprise. Results of other questions in this poll show that he’s failing as president. One has to wonder if Democrats might look for a different nominee.
PJ Media (LR: 4 CP: 4)

Nerd narrative:

There’s a 40% chance that Trump would win a 2024 presidential election matchup with Biden, according to the Metaculus prediction community.
