ah, ipsos, a french company that wasn't a political polling firm before this.
I guess the AP needs a dash of sunshine to keep their spirits high.
Too bad...the poll hasn't changed since it was posted an hour ago... :)
This poll is good news. Bear with me here.
The numbers they give don't matter. What matters is where we are in this poll compared to the last one from this polling firm.
I've opined before that any poll, no matter how biased, is useful for gauging trends. Look at past AP/IPSOS polls. The trend, even here, is once again our friend. Keep in mind that there is a bias offset from IPSOS that consistently favors Kerry by say, 5 points. So adjusting for this bias, we see that in the last poll, Bush was up by 1, and this poll he is up by 4.
Zogby provides more proof of the trend hidden in biased polls. His last poll was a "tie". The latest poll has Bush up by 1. Once again, the trend is our friend.
Been there done that!
Desperate to slow the momentum of the Republicans, the AP contiues to demonstrate its mindless loyalty to the left. I say this only because this poll is so out of line with the majority, and the track record of the AP is so partisan.
Already posted and debunked.
AP/Ipsos (944 LV)*** 10/4 - 10/6 46% 50% 2% Kerry +4
This is the last AP poll I could find on Real Clear..Kerry has dropped a point!..(I don't believe any of them..but the trends I do watch.)
