6. Agreed; Gallup had us down 52-39 on 10/27/2000

And we won the election. After Kerry wins, Time, Gallup et al will have lots of 'splainin' to do.

[TexasSissy]

15. Actually, that was on 10/26.

Then the next day it went to *49, Gore 42 on 10/27/2000.

16. It Was October 26 That They Had Bush Up Thirteen

I'm a bit concerned nonetheless...

[cthrumatrix]

3. eff them...bunch of propagnada bs

[WI_DEM]

4. every week Time is either having Bush up by an inane margin

or Kerry closing the gap and tied, next week it will be tied again--to give us fuel going into election day.

[jezebel]

5. Yeah, I saw her. She couldn't contain her glee. But I thought she said

Bush up 5 among likely, so I assumed Kerry was 46% among likely.

[BeyondGeography]

29. You're right, jez

It's amended to 51-46.

[BUSHOUT]

7. Where is the link?

8. Time poll... HAHAhahahahahahahah

Whooooooooo Cares??????????

[Atman]

9. Like Bill Gates makes us all billionaires when he walks in...

The TIME poll's purpose is to raise their average for their POLL OF POLLS. Remember, TIME owns CNN. They created a poll to support this new Poll Of Polls bullshit. Just to show Bush doing better "on average."

10. CNN/Time poll: Bush holds edge

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Republican presidential nominee George W. Bush holds a 49-to-43 percent edge over Democratic rival Al Gore in the latest CNN/Time poll, conducted Wednesday and Thursday.

The poll of 2,060 adult Americans, including 1,076 likely voters, has a margin of error of plus or minus three percentage points and is thus in essential agreement with a CNN/USA Today/Gallup tracking poll also released Friday. That poll gives Bush a 52 percent-39 percent edge over Gore. More important, both polls show the same snapshot of the current state of the presidential campaign: a solid advantage for Bush.

ABC News and The Washington Post both have daily tracking polls today putting the race at 48 percent for Bush and 45 percent for Gore. The latest Reuters/MSNBC/Zogby tracking poll has the contest at 45 percent for Gore and 43 percent for Bush.

October 25-26

Likely voters' choice for president

Bush 49%

Gore 43

Nader 3

Buchanan 1

Sampling error: +/-3% pts

11. Yup, That Says It All! Thanks!

These polls need to be reported in this context, but of course CNN would never do that...

[Gloria]

19. On the new survey--how is the MOE presented???? They've been

lumping the same MOE as the same for the total sample and the LV portion. It's bullshit, they do this all the time....What is the MOE on the likely voter portion?? What does that MOE apply to? Time's methodology is totally half-assed just on this one thing alone!!!

[Snivi Yllom]

26. notice they mentioned Zogby calling it right

whores

[Mojambo]

12. CNN

Don't care.

[nonconformist]

13. Bullshit. Kerry in a LANDSLIDE. nt

[saracat]

14. We should stop posting Time polls. They are from Freeperland!

And they are downers!Horse pucky!

[Maiden England]

17. scumbags, cheatin' lyin' twistin' bunch of liars...

[Teaser]

18. 50-43 RVs? That's laughable.

Nobody is getting results like that. Go back to square one boys.

[BUSHOUT]

20. Can I ask how you heard of this poll please?

[jezebel]

21. Judy Woodruff mentioned it at the very end of her show. NT

[BUSHOUT]

23. Should I assume it's a national poll, not a state poll?

[BeyondGeography]

25. Yes, it's national; link not available yet

[snowbear]

22. I'm with you Sara!

I completely agree with you!! The continuous (daily) poll posting is pretty maddening :crazy: But then.. if it's on the news, it will be on here.

I do like seeing the data they publish from either "all polls combined" much more than these insane polls from every pollster under the sun.

But TIME?? :think: Pahleeeeese.. That's just about equivalent to extreme right-winger Scott Rasmussen's polls!!!! :puke:

And what's so funny is.. if you don't like the poll numbers you see on CNN, you simply need to hit the channel changer... LOL!

Polls, polls, everywhere a poll.. :silly:

[Snivi Yllom]

24. fuck TIME

More media whores. Not buying it.

[tritsofme]

27. RCP says 51-46%

Nader with 2% for this poll

28. Thanks, I'll amend

[righteous1]

30. Gallup

Gallup probably does the actual polling

[speedoo]

31. Doesn't matter. The battleground states matter.

K/E is putting them away, one by one. Pennsylvania, Michigan, Minnesota. Ohio, Iowa and Wisconsin not far behind.

[requiem99]

32. Irrelevent. Our base doesn't read Time nor watch CNN.

[leyton]

33. reflective of recent CNN/Gallup polls.

IIRC other polls have Bush below fifty and Kerry within MOE. The New Yorker had a piece recently on how John Zogby correctly called the last election when Gallup had Bush winning handily, so I'll go with Zogby, who most recently put Bush and Kerry even at 45 (I think).

[righteous1]

35. Zogby

Zogs had it at B47 K45 this morn

[leyton]

36. Well, that still sounds good to me.

That's certainly within the margin of error, and if Bush is only going to get 47% in this election, Kerry is going to win.

[i_c_a_White_Ghost]

34. LATEST TIME POLL JUST OUT: SHRUB 99%-kerry 1%!

with margin of error zero. Time said why even go to the polls.

These polls are pile of bullshit.

TIME, GAllUP, CNN, FOX, STRATEGIC VISION, etc. have 1 Goal, to keep bush in power.
