3. CNN is GOP Conservative News Network.

The American Research Poll also had Kerry at 48% Bush at 43% Nader at 2%. *uck CNN, Ignore then email them and confront them on their neo-con agenda. <http://www.cnn.feedback/>

4. There is something fishy with some of the polls

If you wanted to, it wouldn't be hard to skew the results by selecting certain geographical regions, known as "stratification." But it could be done under the guise of getting a "representative" sample -- that is, selecting for geographic diversity and ignoring other demographics like income, etc. It wouldn't be right, but it could be done.

Sometimes I think they must be doing something like this. And then the media whores will narrate over a graphic that shows Bush's approval at barely 50%: "he continues to be a popular wartime president."

5. Out of the margin of error. out of the 40s, in the 50 range.

And now it is time for the defeatist elitist to arrive and piss on this poll. Should be happening any moment now.

6. Yowza!

Not only ahead by a good bit, but with a majority of support. And this isn't bounce or anything. This is genuine Bush-implosion. I can't wait till the 9/11 commission releases its report.
