That's what I thought when I saw them. The MSM wants to paint a comeback kid story, so what better way than to exaggerate the polls. It's a gamble, but it lets them write story after story about Kerry coming back with snips from his campaign rallies at Burger King and Bowling Alleys.
You folks are thining too hard. Those polls are not made up to set up Bush for a fall. In politics it is always good to be ahead because people will go vote for the winner on election day.
