This is still confusing to me though. Didn't they have a poll only a week or 2 ago with Bush UP by several? This Kerry lead from even before the debate sounds bogus to me. I remember being stunned at hearing the LA Times, which knowingly skewed polls in favor of the Dems before, had GWB up by several points. Is it possible they polled a different group specifically about the debate?
I believe they did have a different sample for the pre and post debate polls. Bush was up by 5 in the last LA Times poll, I believe. So yes, the poll prior to the debate showing Kerry up by one is clearly pretty silly. It probably shows an oversampling of Dems like the Newsweek poll.
