Hilarious. So CNN pays for a poll and then when it doesn't come out like they like, they distance themselves from their own poll!! [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

(CNN) -- Headed into their first face-to-face debate, President Bush
appears to be leading Democratic Sen. John Kerry among likely voters, with a clearer edge among registered voters.
The CNN/USA Today/Gallup poll shows that among likely voters, Bush was the choice of 52 percent, while Kerry was the choice of 44 percent and independent Ralph Nader garnered 3 percent. That result was within the poll's margin of error of plus or minus 4 percentage points.
-------------------
Then they quote the registered voters and it gets BIGGER.. So they decide to "neglect" that this is NOT within the margin of error.
Quote:
In the broader category of registered voters, 53 percent supported Bush; 42 percent, Kerry; and 3 percent, Nader. That question had the same margin of error.
