After-debate Polls conspiracy?

Moderators, maybe you can leave this thread up until the Politcal forum is fixed?

Last night at 3am MrBigglesworth reported the following on the on-line polls:

CNN.Com (Clinton News Network)
Bush 56%
Gore 44%
22,082 people in this poll

ABCNews.com:
Bush: 62.2%
Gore: 37.7%
20,878 in this poll

Vote.com
Bush 88%
Gore 12%
25,226 people in this poll (must be demographically similar to TFL!)

As of now, I cannot find the CNN poll anywhere on their site!!??! Only a news story stating that among a phone poll of 435 voters, 48% of those said Gore won, and 41% said that Bush won. Can anyone else find that CNN poll and post a link? Or did CNN pull it becuase they didn't like the results, and replace it with the news story about 435 voters in the phone poll?

FYI the ABCNews.com poll is still up, and latest results are:

Bush 59.3%
Gore 41%
68,000 in this poll.

But ABCNews.com also has a similar news story about a phone poll of 491 voters, saying 42% of them said Gore won and 39% said Bush won.

Why isn't anyone reporting that all the on-line polls are giving Bush a significant margin? Are they that blatant in their bias? If Gore was ahead in the on-line polls would they be reporting it every 15 minutes?
 
Have you noticed, that when the media polls agree with what the media wants to say, it is accurate from 3 to 4 percent. BUT! When it goes against what they wish to convey, "This is not a scientific poll."
BTW. Someone stated on another forum, that the girl in Florida that had to stand in class, because there was no more room for a desk for her, has been repudiated by the school she attends. Also, it was stated that while Gore did go to texas with the director of FEMA, it was not at the time that Al said it was. No wonder Bush got such a puzzled look on his face.
Al must have had special surgery. His Pinnochio nose doesn't work anymore. Looks like he may have lied to the American People. So what else is new?

Thanks, johnbt. I guess CNN was not as slimy as I thought they were. For other's benefit, the latest CNN poll says:

Bush 56%
Gore 44%
61,000 total votes.

Very similar to the spread back at 21k votes.

I thinks its cool that Bush has a big lead in all the on-line polls. Does that mean that:

a) More Bush supporters have internet access
b) More Bush supporters participate in on-line polls
c) There ARE MORE Bush supporters?
 
Latest CNN poll info
