‘New York Times’ Poll , Indicates Trouble for Biden.
Donald Trump was found to be "leading in
five out of six swing states," 'The Hill' reports. .
Wisconsin is the only swing
state where Biden is leading.
In 2020, Biden won all six swing states.
The May 13 poll also indicated that support for Biden is dwindling among young voters,
as well as Black and Hispanic voters.
What’s so impressive about this is
polls have historically underestimated
Trump’s support, not overestimated
Trump’s support, Ford O’Connell, a Republican strategist, via 'The Hill'.
And then if you couple this poll
with nearly 100,000 people
showing up in Arctic blue New

Biden supporters, however, say that polling conducted this far away from election day should be taken with a grain of salt.
The only consistency in recent
public polls is inconsistency. , Geoff Garin, Biden campaign pollster, via 'The Hill'.
These results need to be weighed against
the 30-plus polls that show Biden up and
gaining — which is exactly why drawing
broad conclusions about the race based
on results from one poll is a mistake. , Geoff Garin, Biden campaign pollster, via 'The Hill'.
The reality is that many voters are not paying
close attention to the election and have not
started making up their minds — a dynamic
also reflected in today’s poll. , Geoff Garin, Biden campaign pollster, via 'The Hill'.
These voters will decide this election,
and only the Biden campaign is doing
the work to win them over, Geoff Garin, Biden campaign pollster, via 'The Hill'

As the conflict between Russia and Ukraine escalates, a new tactical emblem has been observed on Russian military equipment near Kharkiv. This symbol, characterised by a central square with two overlapping diagonal crosses, indicates a significant escalation in Russia's military operations, particularly in the Kharkiv Region. According to reports from OSINT Defender, this emblem is linked to Russia's renewed border offensive in northeast Ukraine, with Russian forces actively attempting to breach Ukrainian defences, notably around Vovchansk. These symbols serve as identification friend or foe (IFF) measures in conflict zones, aiming to prevent friendly fire. Notably, the 'Z' marking, prominent during the 2022 Ukraine invasion, became a symbol of Russian support for the war effort.
