Read it again, Hayek. Kerry leads Bush by 3%, 44% to 41%.

Statistically, this may be interpreted as so close as to be "even", given the margin of error typical of most polls.

Please let me know if you need further explanation.

However, the amount of movement, two points, is also within the margin of error, so the headline could just as well have been written "No change in Bush, Kerry numbers."

Please let me know if you need further explanation.

Please lose the condescending attitude.
