CNN has Bush-Kerry tied in Florida 44-44....but
44-44

In July, graphic showed Bush 49, Kerry 44

BUT anchor said "it looks like the president is gaining ground on Senator Kerry"

Did the graphic have the wrong numbers for July or is the anchor LYING?

1. The anchor is dyslexic. Bush lost ground in FL.

3. From the way I see it, monkeyface is not gaining where I live.
I don't know who they're polling, but I live in the Orlando/Winter Park area and in the last election, I didn't see a single Gore sign in Winter Park (very Repug neighborhood). Everyday I am amazed as I see Kerry signs on my walk through the neighborhood. And in the downtown area of Orlando I see Kerry signs everywhere.

4. THEY ARE MAKING THESE NUMBERS UP, FOLKS...
I doubt that ANYONE really knows what the true "numbers" are...

Lots of people have cell phones only , these days.. are THEY being called too?? I doubt it..

Lots of people have become so enraged, that they have JUST RECENTLY registered, and are probably not being polled..


The media and polling companies, must show "close" numbers to cover their asses...

Who wants to be the polling company who predicts a blow-out, and it's a squeaker???

and it provides "cover" for the Dieboldization of any election, anywhere..

IGNORE THE POLLS....

5. I agree- especially in Florida.
If the state was an even split last time around, I have a very hard time believing it would be an even split AGAIN, after 4 disastrous Bush years.

7. CNN is known for showing graphs in reverse
ex: If Kerry would be leading in the poll they would mention it with words but the graph will show just the oppsite. They did constantly thru out the Dem primaries!
