That's nice, NOYB. Here are some other number from the same poll:

..... 54 percent of Americans think the country is headed the wrong way.


Bush will make the economy:

Better
30%

Worse
23%


Kerry will make the conomy:

Better
36%

Worse
11%

So what your statistics have proven is that based upon the margin of error
in the poll: 1) about half of America feels the country is headed in the
*right* direction, and 2) people are pretty much evenly split on which
candidate will make the economy better.

However, there is no rationalizing the difference in people's opinions of
each candidate's integrity.

51% believes Bush means what he says
33% believe Kerry.

No margin of error can account for the 18 percentage point drubbing Kerry
takes on the issue of integrity. Ironically, that is the main issue Kerry
has decided to run on. It's almost comical.

If the poll's results were the other way around and the Times published
them, would you say its editors DID NOT see the writing on the wall?

You do understand my question, right?

Speaking With Integrity

Most of the time, Bush says what he:
Believes 51%
Thinks people want to hear 45%

Most of the time, Kerry says what he:
Believes 33%
Thinks people want to hear 57%

--------------------------------------------------

And Kerry plans on running on the issue of Bush's lack credibility and
honesty?

Oh, the effrontery!

If a Foxnews reported on a story with a positive message about a liberal,
there's a high likelihood that the story is true. If Foxnews reported on a
story with a negative spin towards a liberal, then the story may or may not
be accurate.

The same scenario applies to the NY Times and stories about conservatives.

Yes. The Times published poll results. It has nothing to do with who "saw
the writing on the wall". If they publish a story about a train wreck, does
it mean the bulk of the staff believes trains are unsafe?

Depends upon the wording in the story. Journalism isn't objective any more.
If a train wrecked, and the journalist who reported on the wreck had a bias
against train travel, the headline would read: "Supposedly Safe? Recent
Train Collision Shows the Dangers of Rail Travel".
