The CBS News - New York Times poll released on September 23 is yet another MSM product which juggles the numbers to give Barack Obama an inflated lead. The poll results show Obama with a 13-point lead, but the numbers have been rigged by the use of unrealistic partisan weighting.

The left wing media and the liberal democrats are only lying to themselves and will only make them cry longer after McCain wins.

Moody has rated New York Times as Junk

Catching up with the rest of the Country.

Why would anyone accept any Poll number from them.

I don't read it anymore , what did Sarah Palin have for Dinner last night and what was her bill including tip?

[MSM Skeptic]

The fools lie so much they believe their own lies since they can’t see truth anymore.

<sarcasm>When the CBS poll said McCain was behind 13 points, I was sad. Now that I know he's really only behind by 8.6 points, I feel so much better. 8.6 points behind is practically winning!</sarcasm>

Here another question: What "Republicans" did CBS poll? And in what area of the country?

Last night on Hannity & Colmes, Geraldine Ferraro said she had lunch yesterday with a group of women most of whom were Republicans. They supposedly all said to her that they could not vote for McCain because of Sarah Palin! Give me a break. Real Republicans are not going to vote for Obama because they don't care for the Republican running mate.

Hannity pointed out that Ferraro had lunch in New York City with a bunch of elitist "Republicans" and they were not representative of the country. I would make the same point with CBS: Where was this poll taken? Manhattan? Westchester County? Fairfax County, Virginia?

So, considering that CBS skewed the total sample toward Democrats, do think that they may have a stake in skewing the Republican sample by choosing upscale, country club Republican areas?

CBS/NY Times see the polling trends favoring McCain so they conveniently publish their propaganda poll. Would anybody really expect anything different? The media polls should not be seriously regarded because the more credible pollsters have the race much closer.

Even our local FOX news stations are using THESE BULLSH*T NUMBERS!!

I was screaming at the T.V. this morning while I was getting ready for work!

What about two of the MOST reliable polls showing a ONE point difference?!

In 1996, CBS had Clinton up by 28% about a month before the election. He won by 7%. Liberal media polls are always off. They gave up caring about credibility years ago.

These polls are used purposely as propaganda to suppress conservative get out the vote efforts, and they are direct interference with the Electoral process.
