Go to page 4 of the article and actually read the results and you will see that of the 28 different poll results during the last week only 5 indicated a Carter lead. The others indicated a Reagan lead. The most misleading polls were as expected the CBS NYTimes and the Washington Post Poll. But clearly Reagan was in the lead in the final week of the campaign and according to Writhlin of the Reagan campaign their internal polls indicated Reagan in the lead almost throughout out the campaign.

Read it more carefully — the point is the huge difference weightings can make. The polls they are showing with Reagan in the lead are “unweighted”, before the MSM manipulated them to show better numbers for Carter, which was published.
