I still haven't seen a link to your facts.
www.realclearpolitics.com....and the fact that you don't know where or what that is further bolsters my assumption
...and yes, your poll is calculated in. Seems to be an outlier.
From you own link they say the following a little further down:
A new Washington Post poll published on Tuesday, however, foundBush's job approving rating at 54 percent, and the president was holding a slender lead over Kerry, 50 percent to 47 percent, with independent candidate Nader getting 1 percent of the likely votes.
Why did you pick out the 44%?
