Media bias?
The MSNBC website indicates that Kerry leads nationally in the polls.
Kerry 48%
Bush 45%
However, I have seen all major polls and Bush has an average lead of 2.9%. The NBC poll dated 10/18 shows the race dead even and Gallup as of 10/16 has Bush ahead by 8 points. My question; where does MSNBC get their data and is it as simple as “they are lying”? Not one of the latest polls had Kerry leading; in fact, all but two have Bush leading and the two are deadlocked.

UPDATE: After I posted newer polls were released; however, Bush still has and average lead of 2.6% and there is one (AP-Ipsos) that has Kerry with a 3 point lead. AP-Ipsos is still the only one that has Kerry leading and the numbers are not 48% - 45%; so where is MSNBC getting their numbers?
