Can't Spell Dubious in the Polls without Dubya

Also from Skippy:

if any of you actually believe the recent time and newsweek polls that showed awol pulling ahead by 11%, we've got a bridge in brooklyn we can sell you.

even mickey kaus doubts the parameters of the polls. he says that scott rassmussen (subscription required, we're too cheap) argues that the times poll oversampled repubbb voters. and it has been discussed on kos that the newsweek poll "pushed" the repondents for an answer; in other words, "not sure" was not an option, you had to pick awol or kerry. time did not push for an answer during the dnc poll, thus making polls during the two conventions apples and oranges.
Gee, a lot of us seem to be offering that same bridge at a great discount this campaign season.
