You may have noticed today’s edition in your inbox this afternoon. It was about that poll in the Times that’s got everyone panicking. It shows Donald Trump ahead of Joe Biden in five critical swing states. But it also shows something else — that Trump’s strength is based on winning over a percentage of Black voters that no Republican has gotten in decades. That, to me, doesn’t show strength. It shows weakness.

That’s what I do here at the Editorial Board. I point out things like that in plain English for normal people, democracy and the common good. I do that every day. I think that’s worth supporting with a subscription. I hope you agree. For just $6 a month, or $60 a year (17% off), you get:

I hope you’ll consider it. Thanks!
