CNN reporting Minnesota dead heat?
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'

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.

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:

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.

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
