I don't even think that they mentioned the polling outfit. It's outrageous that they didn't report the polls mentioned in this article.

Approval Rating For Bush Below 50%, Poll Finds

TAMPA - For the first time in Florida, President Bush's job approval rating has slipped below 50 percent, suggesting rival John Kerry still could gain support in the state just weeks before the Nov. 2 election, a poll showed Wednesday.

Bush's performance rating, which peaked at 80 percent shortly after the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, has fallen from 58 percent in July 2003 to 49 percent in the poll this week.

Meanwhile, the presidential race remains in a statistical dead heat across Florida, with 48 percent of likely voters supporting Bush and 44 percent backing Kerry, according to Mason-Dixon Polling & Research, which did the work for The Tampa Tribune and WFLA, News Channel 8. The poll had an error margin of 4 percentage points.

``What those numbers say more than anything is that 52 percent of Americans in Florida don't want to vote for President Bush,'' said Art Collins, a senior adviser to the Kerry campaign. ``We have said all along it's going to be a very close race.''

1. Uhm, they did right in your blurb

Mason-Dixon Polling & Research


But Zogby says Kerry has a lead. So don't follow polls. They're bullshit.

3. My point wasn't clear

They mentioned the 7pt lead and did not mention the other two polls that show a tight race in Florida. It was reported as though Bush is starting to pull away in Florida.
