I cannot stress strongly enough to all of you that this poll is completely phony! It is a setup that will allow them to only drop Bush in the polls AFTER THE CONVENTION to negate his bounce. THIS IS THE LA TIMES, PEOPLE. Think please.

i said that too. I agree with you, but at the same time Kerry is looking really desparate and the media is spinning like never before for him. All good signs.

Hello,

OK, back to earth here. You make an excellent point. The LA Times would lie to God to cover this up if it were true. Except...what if the Hillary Comes to the Rescue of the Party idea is true. Do you think they would throw Kerry off the proverbial Swift Boat?

Glad to be here, MOgirl

Yep, that is why we need the internals to the poll. The typical LA Times-style methodology is to over-represent the Republicans in the polling sample just BEFORE the convention, even if it puts the Republican candidate marginally ahead (within the poll margin of error) and then pull the whip-saw. The next poll released (after the 'bounce' measuring polling) will be to then over-represent the Dems and Independents to show that the Republican candidate just had his poll ratings drop like a stone.

That is why the political affiliation splits are so important, it allows the public to see if the 'whip-saw' tactic is being used...

LAtimes or not Kerry is getting clobbered and his RATmedia allies are in full panic. This is Real.

Besides wait until they get a load of The Beauty and the Beast next week.
