TWISTED: LA Times Poll Had Sample With 38% Democrats, 25% Republicans Tue Jun 15 2004 10:13:47 ET
Sen. John Kerry "has taken big lead," according "to an L.A. Times poll."
But the Times poll that showed Kerry "beating Bush by 7 points" has created a controversy over whether the poll's sample accurately reflects the population as whole, ROLL CALL reports on Tuesday.
"Not counting independents, the Times' results were calculated on a sample made up of 38 percent Democrats and 25 percent Republicans -- a huge and unheard-of margin," ROLL CALL claims.

You know, I did a search and nothing came up. I think the search function sucks. Thanks.

I don't believe anything I read in the LA Times, including the weather report.

Will there be a big shakeup at the Times???
Heads Will Roll as Los Angeles L'Opinion e Times is caught fabricating polls!!!
Film at Eleven!!! Consumers are alarmed as the Big News Industry is stunned by the latest revelations of corruption in the Big Media boardrooms!!!
well a fella can dream sometimes can't he?

This is a bad sign for Kerry. If 38% were dems and 25% were repubs that's a 15 point delta. If Kerry is getting less than 50% of the extras he is toast in a real head to head race.
To: TommyDale
I agree with txflake. I like your headline better!

The LAT just had a huge symposium on "journalist ethics" in which they basically held Fox News up as the paragon of bad journalism. Let's hope Fox reports this over and over and over and...

The Left are just
expected to lie, cheat, and steal. That's why no one ever says anything about it when they get caught.
And besides, the media
is the left. The fox is guarding the henhouse, so who's there to say anything about it anyways?

It appears that Roll Call has removed the story already.
To: All
Folks,
It's my understanding that there was a typo in the article. The poll's website showed 28, not 38% of Dems were polled.

"I don't believe anything I read in the LA Times, including the weather report." Your first mistake is reading the LA times. Your second mistake is you committed a mortal sin. To make amends, you must bow down to FR whenever an LA times is in your presence:)
