This is the video of the poll. Such a snowflake.
Wow... what a dunk you got there. A FiveThirtyEight C+ pollster found that among those who are "closely following" a story that gets its coverage primarily from anti-Biden outlets, still over a 1/3 believe Biden.
You claimed it was 65% of voters as well, so you own "evidence" contradicts you.
Are you angry that it wasn't exactly a third? I did the math, and you're right. Then I did it again to make sure. 65% of 100% leaves me with 35%. I've done it over and over. 35% believe Biden, and the vast 65% majority believe Tara Reade. I guess Joe Biden is off the hook.
BTW... there are other polls out there showing more and more people choosing to believe Tara Reade. I think you should make your peace with it and figure out how to respond instead of playing Nancy Nitpick.
You claimed 65% of voters believe Tara Reade. Your "evidence" was a poll of "close followers".
So what? That's still really bad. If more I engage someone with information, the more closely they'll follow the story. If they closely follow the story, Joe Biden could have a problem. It's just an interesting fact that can be used for political offense and defense. I'm not trying to hide the ball from you, or get one by.

1. Lying is bad, you lied about your evidence for your own narrative.
2. The "close followers" are likely a small minority, see here;
https://docs.cdn.yougov.com/wllghb6lp9/20200506_yahoo_coronavirus_crosstabs.pdfOnly 47% of respondents by last week (where it got the most coverage) had heard ANYTHING about Reade. I would estimate that only about 25% respondents are "close followers" and that is being generous as I'm using the proportion of those who are following coronavirus "very closely" rather than "somewhat" and I would guess that people care more about COVID-19 than Reade.
Reade has got plenty of mainstream attention but the story is unquestionably being pushed by very anti-Biden outlets on the left and right and so are likely where the "very close followers" are learning the information from - hence the 53% of Republicans (excluding "Don't Knows") believing it. It is actually quite impressive that Biden still has 37% among "close followers" from an R-leaning mediocre quality pollster.
