According to the latest CNN/GALLUP poll, Bush has dropped several percentage points to Kerry. Kerry now holds the lead with 51% to Bush's 46%. Looks like all the negative press has affected Bush this week.

It's funny how lame Fox News is, and how they try to spin every issue. When prior Gallup poll numbers showed Bush leading by a couple percentage points, they didn't hesitate to mention them. Now when Kerry is leading in the Gallup poll, they don't acknowledge it. In fact, they showed their own Fox News Poll which had Bush leading Kerry. They are so biased and UNbalanced it's unbelievable.

What's so unbelieveable? They have a conservative agenda.

You're suprised that FNC does not report a CNN poll? Does CNN report on Fox News polls?

There's a difference. The CNN poll was a Gallup poll, the Fox poll was strictly a Fox poll. Big difference.

Not that anyone here cares but Sudheer Anne's "data" wasn't exactly a good representation of the poll as far as the Presidential election.

Likely Voters:2004 May 7-9
Bush: 47%
kerry: 45%
Nader: 5%
None: 2%

You may now resume your FOX bashing...

edit -oh, the USA today link wasn't a different poll.

Anyway - ANY Presidential poll or comparison without Nader in it is inaccurate. He is now the reform party candidate which will add to the amount of ballots he is on. Wether people want to admit it or not - he's a player in this Presidential election.

On with the FOX bashing...it was just getting fun!:D

No way Nader is pulling 5% in the polls. He didn't even get that in the 2000 returns and there is no way in hell more people are going to vote for him this time around.

Dont even start bashing fox, i didnt hear you say anything when CNN didnt show bush leading. As far as polls go (gallup does a good job) but take any college STAT class and you will find they are flawed. So no one should be worried, polls are there to scare people, elections are unpredictable.

Listen to CAD on Election night and you would think Nadar is going to win the Presidency. :D

They did not kiss the previous administration's ass.

Well, yeah, FOX News is a right-wing news channel. It's very pro-Bush. Why would it have kissed the Clinton administration's ass?

right, foxnews more recently addopted that agenda, but has been Rupert Murdoch's modis operandi in many nations for quite some time.

from that same article:

Others might take the fall for Abu Ghraib abuses, but Berkeley students hold Bush responsible

might as well quote carville

but that article is not biased, not at all. none what-so-ever. no agenda there.

I saw a poll, I forget which news organization, I think it was MSNBC, showed that Nader actually helped Kerry and Bush lost by even more...

at least CNN makes an attempt to present both conservative and liberal views. However biased you think they are, they are nothing compared to Fox News. Hey CAD why don't you try and tell me why Fox News isn't biased, instead of your lame ass responses. Have a *cookie* yourself.....

Also, in response to Nader, he's actually taking away votes from both Kerry and Bush. They showed the results taking Nader into account, and it was Kerry at 49% and Bush at 44%. Kerry just a few percentage points away from the majority vote, very scary for the Bush campaign. The one upside for the Bush campaign is that I don't think they can sink much lower.

Likely voters would be a much better representation of an accurate poll at the current time than registered voters...:)
