CNN reporting Minnesota dead heat?

[Clinton Crusader]

Is this true? Slap me for asking such a dumb question, but this really surprised me to see that and Nader pulling 6%? YIKES!

1. I guess they consider a nine point lead a 'dead heat'

:shrug:

[Krupskaya]

3. Yeah, I heard 8 points.

Kerry 51, bush 43.

Someone said elsewhere that if the numbers were reversed, they'd call it a lock for Bush.

2. Is there another Minn. poll?

[sonicx]

5. yeah, a gallup one that has the race tied. nt

[no name no slogan]

14. The Mpls Star Tribune published one today

The Strib did its own poll that shows Kerry with a 50%-41% lead over Shrub-- which is the biggest spread so far. But do you want to know what the headline was for the story?

Minnesota Poll Shows Bush Gaining On Kerry :wtf:

Liberal media my @$$. :eyes:

4. CNN uses Gallup. They are not a credible polling company anymore. nt

[lancdem]

8. Especially if they have Nader at 6 percent

He gets less than 1 percent in the Star-Tribune poll.

13. After the DNC, gallup's poll said that Kerry lost support.

and the media played it up. That was the final nail for them in my eyes. Although they did have that poll in late Oct 2000 with Gore losing by double digits.

6. Bullshit. Star Trib has Kerry up 9 points in very recent poll. Looking

for a link right now.

11. Here you go

Headline is a bit misleading!

Gallup and SUSA seem to be way out there now...they will either look like geniuses or assholes after election day...my guess is the latter

12. Or someone is going to be very very rich for progpandizing an election

7. If 50-41 is a dead heat

I suppose they are right.

16. The liberal media will soon attribute it to Wellstone Memorial backlash.
