it's just a rumor, but
jerome armstrong at mydd says:
here's a email note i got from an insider pollster:
the word i hear is that nyt/cbs are not going to release their latest fl survey, because it shows kerry up by 4 points. apparently, they [cbs & nyt's] think that is an implausible result, so they are suppressing it. of course, it's not implausible at all. and imagine the reverse: would they have suppressed a poll showing bush up 4?
don't know if it'll do any good, but why not email
cbs and the
nytimes and ask them about it??
here's what i said:
gentlemen;
i understand you have decided to suppress the results of your latest cbs/new york times florida poll, because it has the "implausible" result of kerry pulling ahead.
what, once burned twice shy? afraid the righties will accuse you of bad fonts?
get a clue. news is news. it's not your job to decide what news america needs to hear. if it's in the numbers, we deserve to hear it.
in case you haven't heard, kerry is ahead in ohio and pennsylvania in the american research group and the surveyusa polls. so do your job and report this!
