Media Ignore Poll Favoring Bush

A new presidential poll shows George W. Bush leading Al Gore for the first time in weeks, while another new poll has Gore still leading.

But even more interesting is how the mainstream media promoted the one favoring Gore and ignored the one favoring Bush.

The respected bipartisan Voter.com Battleground 2000 Poll found that among voters most likely to vote if the election were held today, 50 percent would choose Republican Bush, 44 percent Democrat Gore, 4 percent Green Party nominee Ralph Nader and 1 percent Reform Party candidate Pat Buchanan. The margin of error was 3.1 percent.

The poll, released Thursday, was based on a four-day rolling sampling of 1,000 likely voters, conducted by Democrat pollster Celinda Lake of Lake, Snell, Perry & Associates and Republican pollster Ed Goeas of Tarrance Group.

But a search for poll news on the wire services Thursday found only polls showing Gore ahead. The Reuters headline "Gore Maintains Lead Over Bush in Latest Poll" referred to Pew Research Center's poll showing Gore leading Bush 47 percent to 41 percent "among all voters."


Pew's poll of 1,999 registered voters had a 2.2 percent margin of error. Among the 1,237 respondents identified as likely voters, Gore led by 48 percent to 43 percent. Nader polled 2 percent and Buchanan 1 percent.

The survey ran from Aug. 24 to Sept. 10. Reuters reported Gore's lead was slightly narrower in the second half of the polling period.

A list of earlier stories showed a Reuters poll Sept. 13 favoring Gore by 7 points. But no mention of the Voter.com Battleground 2000 Poll could be found there or on the Web sites of such leftist bastions as CNN, the New York Times and the Washington Post.
 
This latest poll is good news indeed!

I still think that this election is Gov. Bush's to lose. Consider that over the last three weeks, AlGore has done exceptionally well while Gov. Bush has stumbled badly, giving Gore the momentum. Despite this, the polls are still a toss up in many cases.

With the campaign finance flaps of the past two days, AlGore has now lost his momentum, IF the Bush camp can take advantage.

It appears that there has been a Democrat spy in the Bush campaign, what with the Bush debate tape falling into AlGore's hands (can anyone say "Watergate"). Could it be possible that this spy has been part of the reason for Gov. Bush's lousy time recently?

Let's hope that the spy is uncovered and Gov. Bush comes out swinging and regains the momentum he enjoyed all spring!
 
The latest Newsweek poll(just released) has Gore leading Bush by 14 points. You guys need to get your heads out of the sand. Bush is getting hammered, and he better come up with a strategy quick.
 
Hey all you nay sayers, go to portraitofamerica.com and take a look. This is reported to be the most accurate poll in america. It has Bush at 44% and Gore at 42% yea I know its a close race, but Bush is not getting hammered.
 
The best thing that could happen is to have all the polls showing Bush down at election day.

That will keep the "motor voters" home and energise everyone else to get to the polls.

The only Poll that counts is on Nov. 7th..

"Bush is getting hammered."

The polls that are historically the most accurate show Bush slightly ahead and within the margin of error. The Newsweek poll is a small sample-size garbage poll. But at least they are surveying likely voters this time around.

The race is close...and Bush hasn't even been trying yet.

I call, yet again, go to your local party headquarters and volunteer for you candidate(s).

Zogby is as good as any poll, and they have Gore up 9. Rather than everyone wondering which gun laws GWB will let sunset or repeal, I think the time would be better spent trying to find a way to get GW elected. Everybody acts like it is a done deal, and all we have to do is sit and wait 2 more months. A lot of people need to wake up before it is too late. If people don't think all of those votes are going to turn into electoral votes, then they are dreaming.

Don't get overly enamored with one poll or the other. Look at the results of all popularity polls. More importantly look at the electoral college results. Also look at the sponsoring group for the polls. Leftist groups tend to report self-fulfilling polls.

Above all, remember that the "media" has a vested interest in a horse race. In other words they make more money with a horse race than they do with a blowout.

Also remember the "media" has already picked a side and is actively promoting its selection. Don't be surprised that the "news" they report fulfills their prophecy.

The results of one poll is meaningless.

That "poll" was discredited. Newsweek's "random, representative" population was 67% Democrat or Independent but only 33% Republican, and was 60% women vs. 40% men. A utterly corrupt poll.
Newsweek is in the tank.

for a look at a balanced poll that is run by a staff of both Dems and Republicans. They have a running composite, separate polls, and electoral vote analysis. This is the one to watch.

Just luck usual. Everyone just lays back and says don't worry, everything's fine. Same response every time. That's what the guys in Mass. all did until they woke up one morning and couldn't buy new handguns. Wait till you see the price of hi cap mags and assault weapons the day after election day, that is, if you can find them. Y2K will look like a non-event after this buying frenzy.
 
The fact that popular media is showing Gore ahead could help us in the long run! If Gore voters see these (false) polls that Gore is ahead they may think he has already won and not bother to vote! While many of us Bush voters are going to be sure to vote regardless of what a poll says! :D Come hell or high water I will vote this Nov. Be it locally or by absentee ballot (fiance has a trip to testify against a former stalker in court that day)
