Can The Newsweek Poll Join The Gallup Poll In The Hall Of Shame?
Edited on Sat Oct-30-04 01:31 PM by DemocratSinceBirth
The New York Times spiked a poll that had Kerry up by nine in Florida... Because they were suspicious of the results they did the responsible thing and polled again...

The second poll found Kerry with a 1% lead which is probably closer to the truth...

Maybe Newsweek should follow that lead..

3. Newsweek's bogus poll..
Fredrica on CNN just said that had Newsweek shown "Registered Voters" and not all of those that they polled, Bush would have only been up by two.

What a wonderful world if this were the last post to discuss that bogus poll? ;)

5. What polling service is Newsweek using?
They could be using Gallup. USA Today uses Gallup,as do many others. Gallup polls are bogus,as I explained in another thread,because survey questions are not read verbatim. Nothing is done about it,so that quota can be made.
