CBS Deeply Buries Real Poll Results


CBS Poll Kerry Over Bush 49 -41

The entire article is about the perceptions of veterans about Kerry and Bush. Only if you really look on the bottom, in a chart, their poll of registered voters shows a big lead opening up for Kerry. Instead their story is that Bush is leading among veterans where there is an 8% margin of error they don't mention. If you are comparing two results like support for Bush and Kerry, there need to be a 15% difference for any significant results. With only 170 veterans polled it is impossible to say that Bush is leading among them. Kinda blows their story doesn't it?

And that so-called liberal media never quits does it?

Atrios showed me the way here and I did my own calculations.
