I'm sick of this type of coverage - here's front page coverage (on Yahoo) of the AP poll, while Reuter's poll (Bush Holds Narrow Two-Point Lead on Kerry) is nowhere to be seen. Bias, anyone?

Does Ron Fournier get paid extra to write multiple stories on the same poll?

Ummm... Shouldn't you use the headline for the article - ya know, so if someone searches they can find it has already been posted?

Just a thought. :0)

If you want to view some UPLIFTING poll numbers for our President, visit the following website for a summative overview of the new ANNENBERG POLL released today [Annenberg surveyed 1,100 more registered voters than AP during the SAME time period!]

The leftist media is more than happy to "report" about what they wish to happen. Usually, they are wrong. This is surely still the case, notwithstanding President Bush's absolutely hideous performance in the first "debate".

just ignore it. The uneasy feeling you have that the polls and news are going to brainwash the plebes into voting for Kerry isn't worth getting dyspetic over. Minds have been made up. There are zero undecideds. Bush has the huge advantage and those in the media who spew that type of coverage darn well know it.

Has anyone seen the internals? The other national polls that have come out this week show Bush leading by about 2 points. Matthew Dowd said that they think they are leading by 2-3 points as well.

If you want to feel better, go to www.PoliPundit.com. DJ Drummond thinks there was funny stuff going on with this poll because they won't release the internals and the site denies there was a recent poll released.

Let's make a few assumptions (admitting ass u me) part.

1: There was a mostly honest effort to capture the voters mind prior to the debates.
2: There is an obvious bias in Old Media.
3: Old Media was waiting for any showing by Kerry!

OK. Kerry lied like hell. And it sounded good. Old Media tells America it sounded good. Old Media says Kerry has energized his base. Skew the polling sample to show same.
Result. Kerry/Bush statistical heat or Kerry in lead.

Truth: Anyone watching that debate who would shift their vote can't read or write.

Bottom line.

If you get a chance to watch Leno tonight, do so. Just played here in the east. Had a skit with GWB that ROASTED Kerry with clips from his Dr. Phil appearance...

My home page is netscape.com (soon to change.) I logged on this evening and the headline was "Polls Change: Kerry now ahead of Bush." Click on the article and it is ONE poll. The misrepresentation by the media is just mind boggling.

Until the internals are posted, I'd dismiss it without a second thought.
