51% : 44%
Quote:
Democrat John Kerry has a solid lead over U.S. President George W. Bush among voters nationwide, according to a Los Angeles Times poll on Thursday that cited widespread unease over the country's direction, Iraq policies and the economy.

Kerry, the U.S. senator from Massachusetts, led Bush by 51 percent to 44 percent nationally in a two-way matchup, according to the poll of 1,230 registered voters taken from Saturday to Tuesday.
...
56% percent of respondents said America "needs to move in a new direction" because Bush's policies have not improved the country.

Bogus poll



This is not a poll from msn, which is bad enough when it comes to polling, but from the LA Times, which is notorious for being the elite in dishonest polling and misrepresenting the facts. For those of you that don't live in America, the LA Times has a reputation for being untrustworthy. Only biased news reporters like msn even consider acknowledging the LA Times.

By the way. This same poll also shows that a majority of americans think bush is doing a good job overall. This is mentioned pretty far down in the article. Thumb Down

Distorted polls

That doesn't contradict the lead of Kerry. But I agree: Especially if you ask too little voters then polls can get heavily distorted.

Moreover, it's not even close to election time, so many things can happen.

And hey, Fahrenheit 9/11 isn't out yet.

Only 51%



That's not much of a lead is it? I would have expected a bigger difference.

I hope that Tony Blair isn't still as popular as Bush seems to be. I can't wait to be rid of that bastard!
