Polls: Bump & Grind

Using Zogby as a source, the
Centre for Public Opinion & Democracy is reporting that Bush's post-convention bump in the polls is greater than Kerry's was. Well, I suppose they had to put some sort of headline on their article but their data reveals that, given the margin of error (3.2%), it was a dead heat before the conventions and it is a dead heat after them. The only time the polls showed a difference between Kerry and Bush that was greater than the error margin was when Kerry lead Bush by five percentage points after the Democratic convention.

Have I become an old, paranoid liberal or is there truly a right-wing bias creeping into every aspect of analysis and reporting in America today? And then I run onto this bit of Internet flotsam deriding Zogby's reliability. Not claiming this as a reliable source...yet...but there's some good stuff in there. We should bookmark this "Moderate Independant" for future reference.
