NYT/CBS spikes poll showing wide K/E lead in FL

[DrBB]

This comes from MyDD via Atrios:

Here's a email note I got from an insider pollster:

The word I hear is that NYT/CBS are not going to release their latest FL survey, because it shows Kerry up by 4 points.  Apparently, they think that is an implausible result, so they are suppressing it.  Of course, it's not implausible at all.  And imagine the reverse:  would they have suppressed a poll showing Bush up 4?

Update (Chris): The rumor I heard, from a good source, was that the poll showed Kerry up nine in Florida. Maybe the poll is flawed, but they should at least release it. Include whatever caveats they want. After all, flawed polls never stop Gallup or Mason-Dixon from public release.

Maddening to hear this.

3. I'm counting this as evidence (whisper this) of a Kerry

...LANDSLIDE lurking under the radar. I keep trying to rein in my thoughts about this, and I don't have any special knowledge. But ALL the signs except the polls point to a major Kerry win. And the media bias--wonderfully illustrated here--is for a close race. Thus when * is up by 2, it's "W Opens a Lead!" but when Kerry is up by 2 it's "Race Still Too Close To Call."

I'm not sure but what I'd just as soon they DIDN'T report this stuff until it comes as a staggering surprise too late for BushCorp to do anything about (not but what they're doing all they can to suppress turn out and whatnot anyway).

Say, next Tuesday night some time.
