Gallup Poll: Bush 54%, Kerry 40%, Nader 3%

What a ridiculous poll, as are the ones showing the race a dead-heat. It's amazing that the science of polling has made so little progress in all these decades. In statistics we call data such as the Gallup one an "outlier"--to be discarded (along with the Pew "dead-even" nonsense today). The true race averages +5.75 points for bush

Wild poll swings sell papers.
