03/08/2004 Entry: "Criticising CNN/USA Today/Gallup polls could become a regular feature"
Posted by Maynard @ 03:48 PM MST

Criticising CNN/USA Today/Gallup polls could become a regular feature
USA Today claims (again) Bush losing to Kerry
A few points:
At no point in the story do they give the margin of error.
At no point in the story do they give the sample size.
At no point do they identify where the survey was conducted.
The ad mentions the criticism of the President for his first TV ads, but does not mention the victims' families who came out in his support.
They claim that same-sex "marriage" is "an issue not likely to be pivotal" in the election.
They give no means of sending feedback to the author of the article.
They can't seem to put out a survey story without injecting some level of bias. Hopefully this link will last longer than the last one did.
