When Gallup showed that Bush's lead had risen to 13 points among "likely"
voters, the liberal media whined that the more accurate number was the 8
point lead he had among "registered" voters.

Now that Bush's "registered" voter lead has *risen* to 11 points, the
liberal media touts the "likely" voter number that has fallen.

What is wrong with the media? Aren't there any non-partisan journalists
left?

Bush's lead gets smaller in poll
By Susan Page, USA TODAY
WASHINGTON - President Bush leads Sen. John Kerry by 8 points among
likely
voters, the USA TODAY/CNN/Gallup Poll shows, a narrower advantage than
Bush
held in mid-September and one that puts him at the edge of the survey's
margin of error.
Among all registered voters, the president's lead widened a bit to a
statistically significant 11 percentage points.

I certainly wouldn't count USA Today among the non-partisans.

It's not as much the source as it is the journalists. Every piece of news
that comes out today seems like it should be on an op-ed page.
