11. Any Poll that gives a 4 pts margen of error is telling you it's a bad poll

Notice that Zogby has Kerry ahead +1. That is better news at 2.9 M/E than a 4.0 M/E

12. Article about the poll seems biased as well

The A/P writers reporting about this poll seem very biased. I think this poll is BS. Weekly mags just can't hang with the daily trackers, 1/2 day trackers,and internal polling. I think Zogby is closer to reality but even he is off by about 4-5 points. Zogby said on The Daily Show, Kerry WILL win. That's putting his polling as on the line!
