This is just innumeracy by the AP reporter. Dropping from 42% to 36% is 6 percentage points off of 42% base. That’s a 15% drop which is neither good news nor “slight.” Math can be hard for political reporters but this is pathetic.

Unfortunately, in US journalism it is considered neutral to spread a lie, but it is considered "biased" to call out a lie. So, there is a structural asymmetry that rewards colorful lies with virality.
