Is there a new CNN Gallup poll out?

[MidwestTransplant]

The Freepers are squawking about a new poll out showing Bush up 50-47. Supposedly CNN carried it?

1. Just saw it on Blitzer, more OUTLIARS from Gallup.

[CO Liberal]

2. The Poll Question Must Be "Who Don't You Trust?"

In that poll, Pretzelboy would have a HUGE lead.

3. There's that one poll from August 1

The Pew poll released today puts Kerry ahead by 3%

4. There's another thread here:

But actually, Bush* was up 51 to 47 in the last Gallup poll, so this one isn't worth squawking about.

6. Don't blame them

Gallup is the only poll on the planet they can find with Bush leading. Three weeks before the 2000 election Gallup had Bush up by 13.http://gallup.com/content/default.aspx?ci=1216

RCP Average 7/30 - 8/11 45.5% 48.9% Kerry +3.4
Rasmussen (1,500 LV) 8/9 - 8/11 45% 48% Kerry +3
Dem Corps* (1,013 LV) 8/2 - 8/5 45% 52% Kerry +7

Fox News (775 LV) 8/3 - 8/4 43% 48% Kerry +5

7. Yes, Gallup lost all credibility with me in 2000

Looking at that chart brings it all back.

Does anyone really think the race in late September 2000 went from even, to Gore up 10, to Bush up 10, and back to even in the span of a couple weeks?

No other poll that year (or this year, for that matter) showed such huge, short-term fluctuations.

8. Actually I Think Gore And Bush Held Leads In The Teens

in the waning days of the 2000 campaign according to Gallup...

9. Gallop poll question

If the election were held today, who would you vote for? Senator Kerry or President Bush and all the beer you can drink?

[lapfog_1]

10. It was a "favor-ability" poll

And 50 percent of those polled think Bush is doing a "passable"
job.

Not a Bush V. Kerry question.

And I doubt that 50 percent of the population think Bush is
doing a good job.

But... look at the news since the convention:

1. Terror, Terror, Terror

2. We caught a bunch of terrorists!

3. Kerry agrees with Bush, even knowing what we know now, that
war with Iraq was the right thing.

4. Vietnam Vets say that Kerry was really a coward, and is unfit
to be Commander in Chief, etc, etc.

5. Oh... we are going to get that America hating terrorist
supporter in Iraq.

(so, did I miss any headlines?)

KKKarl is earning his keep. Never mind the debunking of a lot
of this... retractions never stick with people like the
accusations. And Kerry hasn't helped trying to split hairs on
the war in Iraq. Just my humble opinion.

11. Yeah, you missed lots of headlines.

But, you knew that already, didn't you?
