Oh, so the polls MATTER again now to the media.....
For weeks Kerry has been leading in most polls and it doesn't merit it's own comment or piece in the news media.

Now Bush is leading in one poll by one point and it's newsworthy, when they haven't really discussed polls except as a by-product of some other story.

It's just so pathetic and transparent.

1. Kerry's leading in AR
At least by the latest poll. Seeing as Shrub was winning at 51% and has slumped to 46% is telling in this place.

2. The headlines in LBN
are also very interesting. While the latest cbs/nyt poll has our naked emperor with his lowest ever ratings they run headlines saying that economic "optimism" has him back in a tie with Kerry. Bias at its worst.

3. Let the media distort the polls all they want.
The more they tell us that Bush will win in a landslide, the more Democrats will feel that they urgently need to vote. The Republicans, who obviously believe everything FOX News tells them, will be lulled into a false sense of security.
