Notice a pattern in the Kerry/Bush polls?
Edited on Wed May-12-04 11:45 PM by TruthIsAll
The Bush media whores have, you guessed it, Bush ahead. And the others have Kerry ahead.

The six Bush whores (noted below) have Bush ahead by an average 2.5%;
The other six have Kerry ahead by an average 3.8%

Well, CNN (the ultimate BushCo whore) has Kerry up by 1%; they don't want to be too obvious, since they've been called to task on their obvious Bush bias in their April Bushit numbers.

1. This election
is so close right now, I think that , given the statistical variance in all polls, that those which reflect one candidate or the other being in the lead within the MoE are not being "whores" so much as the polls reflecting an extremely close race.

THe real whores are the polls in states in whick Kerry has been ahead by double digits for months, that then come out and show Bush within a point of Kerry, or beating him by a large percentage. These have now skewed the leads in state polls, and I beleive that those are polls which were designed to favor one candidate in order to attempt to change public opinion in that state.

Like Florida, where Kerry has been within a point or two or Bush or even ahead of him in a few polls. The MasonDixon Poll then comes out showing Bush with a 12 point lead over Kerry in Florida.

Any polls in which you see a big anomaly to other polls mst be considered suspect.
