CNN BS POLL

[PCIntern]

"Likely voters" Bush 50 Kerry 47

Bullshit...

[Racenut20]

1. That is probably true of CNN watchers.

[eaprez]

2. Yeah on Fox Kerry probably has less than that!

[PCIntern]

3. No, CNN - Gallup poll

but we know about those, don't we...

4. according to Newsweek poll

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=102x721218

In the poll conducted on Thursday and on Friday, Kerry received 49 percent of the vote to Bush's 42 percent and 3 percent for independent candidate Ralph Nader. In early July, Kerry led Bush 47 percent to 44 percent, with Nader at 3 percent.

5. No bounce says Schneider

that's just ridiculous and we all know that - tell me that the experience was totally flat...

[qanda]

6. Bush now has 50 and Kerry has 47?

HUH? Who did they poll, Bush and his family?

7. Just saw another post on rasmussen poll

Shows Kerry up by 4.

By the way, is rasmussen reliable? They have a cheesy site but they are the only polls I could find that are updated.

8. They show a pretty big bounce given that poll never moves much.

17. AND I think it's a three day rolling average.

A one-day move of four points represents a significant one-day number (as it relates to the day that dropped off).

But I wouldn't read too much in to that - they also showed a tightening race yesterday - which had to include SOME data from post-acceptance speech.

[Frodo]

16. Not particularly

Their poll is conducted unlike the others. It's an automated calling system.

But it's not a bad measure of movement in the electorate - I just wouldn't trust the actual numbers. So we can say that things have moved (are moving) Kerry's way, but we can't say for certain that he was only a point or two up a coupe days ago.

From 2000, they also leaned more toward Bush than almost any other poll.

9. You gotta stop watching CNN

They have moved over to the dark side.

11. Yes, CNN....has moved to the dark side but...

the CNN poll is run by Gallop...has Gallop moved to the dark side? Maybe the poll is right on...maybe all of the smears against Kerry are working, including the silly $87 billion dollar Iraq bill that Kerry voted against after he voted for his own bill that would be paid by the wealthiest americans. Myabe Kerry is not defending himself as best as he could....just a thought.

10. Don't believe the hype: REMEMBER this poll from 2000?

CNN/Time poll: Bush holds edge
From Keating Holland/CNN

Web posted at: 8:36 p.m. EDT (0036 GMT)

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Republican presidential nominee George W. Bush holds a 49-to-43 percent edge over Democratic rival Al Gore in the latest CNN/Time poll, conducted Wednesday and Thursday...

The poll of 2,060 adult Americans, including 1,076 likely voters, has a margin of error of plus or minus three percentage points and is thus in essential agreement with a CNN/USA Today/Gallup tracking poll also released Friday. That poll gives Bush a 52 percent-39 percent edge over Gore. More important, both polls show the same snapshot of the current state of the presidential campaign: a solid advantage for Bush...

13. thanks....

i feel a little better now...maybe we should all worry if Kerry was leading in the Gallop poll....

[qanda]

14. Now *that* is a good reminder...

Could they have been more wrong?
