freep'd, but I am very skeptical about CNN's poll accuracy. It's not accurate. No on-line poll is, since it's self-selecting.
The purpose of on-line polls is to draw hits to the website.
The polls, themselves, are worthless.

But this looks more like a bot voting than actual people. I don't watch cnn. If they mentioned the poll on tv then maybe that would be a reasonable explanation.
Or maybe some of the liberal bloggers are sending their minions to vote.
But personally, I think these numbers are not merely statistically inaccurate, I think the poll is rigged (not necessarily by cnn).
