A-hole Will Lester of AP - Bias on reporting polls
Edited on Fri Oct-22-04 06:10 AM by JPJones
AP Poll Finds Bush, Kerry Locked in a Tie
Oct. 22, 2004
By WILL LESTER, Associated Press Writer

"Neither candidate has been able to gain a clear advantage. In the survey of 976 likely voters, Democrats Kerry and Sen. John Edwards (news - web sites) had 49 percent, compared to 46 percent for Republicans Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney (news - web sites). That's within the margin of error of 3 percentage points for the poll conducted Oct. 18-20."
