Actually Talon, for decades there were only three news channels in America:
ABC, NBC and CBS. When the Gulf War came CNN established itself as a major news media and now Fox News has done the same. With the exception of FOX all the major news media outlets in this country, along with most of the major newspapers take a definant leftist, liberal slant to the news of the day. They are famous for manufacturing news by creating just the kind of polls that you cited.
At the end of the day though, polls are just that...polls...and you cannot really gain an understanding of the mindset of America by reading polls.
At this point in The Bush vs Dukakis election the polls had Dukakis up by about 12 points....well Dukakis lost his posterior.......same will happen with Kerry.
I will make a bet with you pal...and with up to 9 other people....The first 10 people to take me up on this bet.....I will bet you that Bush wins in a huge landslide.
If he does...you have to buy one of my CDs and if he loses or even wins and it is a close election, I will send you one free of charge. Deal?
