what the hell is up with CNN's web site? [View all]

The top of the page says "BREAKING NEWS. CNN/ORC poll: 48% of registered voters watching debate say Ryan won. 44% say Biden won. Sampling error is +/- 5%."

The poll on the same page says:

Who do you think fared better in the vice presidential debate?
Biden 65% 6973
Ryan 35% 3694

WTF?
