Two new national polls are giving widely divergent views as to whether President Bush's post-convention bounce has solidified or evaporated.
A Gallup Poll released Friday showed the president widening his lead over Kerry among likely voters to 13 percentage points, with 55 percent for Bush and 42 percent for Kerry.

CNN is worried that its liberal viewers will get mad at CNN/USA Today/Gallup for showing Bush a 13-point lead.
"They actually removed "CNN/USA Today/Gallup" and just use Gallup."
LOL you got to be kidding me? When have they ever done that before? Bueller? Bueller? Anyone?
Also interesting how they can't simply present THEIR OWN POLLING alone as they normally do. They have to dull the blow to their audience by including a different poll showing John Forges Kerry much closer. Why don't they simply proclaim their own poll a pile of crap?!!
I'm sure the DUmmies and other LW fruitloop moonbats have been deluging them with hatemail over the polls they dont like. They actually think CNN is RW and that Gallup is in bed with Bush.
go to DU. there are several threads accusing CNN of a conspiracy with gallup and the RNC to skew the polls W's way. as if CNN would ever help the right. what a bunch of maroons.
does anybody have the polling data itself from gallup so we can engorge ourselves on the internals?
hehehe..the crackup continues.. :))
This is a case where the documents are authentic, but the facts are substantially incorrect.
Do a search on FR or go to Gallup or USA Today. They have the full poll numbers and internals there.
The sites that do meta-analysis (averaging many polls) probably do a better job of showing the true status of the race, although their averaging methodologies seem pretty crude.
In all likelyhood, Gallup is too high and Pew is too low.
What CNN fails to see is that by removing their name from the poll, it automatically gives more credibility to the Gallup Poll!
I am not arguing about the numbers. Gallup is probably off. But what I am pointing out is the liberal bias of CNN who took their name off so they won't offend their liberal viewers.
Good thniking. Negative logic just like reverse polarity. Very clever.
Thinking not thniking. I don't even know what thnicking is but it sounds like kind of a neat word!
Why are they breaking off? Are Bush's numbers too good for them to be part of it.
They don't want to piss off their liberal viewers by standing behind their own numbers. So they took CNN name off and replaced it with simply Gallup.
Dead people in Louisiana and the Chicago area...all who traditionally vote Democrat.
I understand that and your actual point was well made.

LOL..I know.
CNN pays to be apart of the Gallup poll. When their own poll comes out they try to make it look unreliable by talking up the PEW results. Honestly, when is the last time you ever heard the MSM promoting a PEW poll like this!
It is funny actually.
