susa and braun (cn2 whack-a-poll) apparently covered the same period (?) so they show the trend as down even though the cn2 poll even showed Rand up from its prior poll, and the SUSA poll was WAY up. Note all those 'stray' data points above the line at the end while the line they draw follows down the one ch2 poll.

I think if cn2 did this to 'cover' and 'mute' the impact of the susa poll, it shows why they switched back to at least using voter registration lists (remember last time they just called people at random and ASKED if they were registered). They knew if they were even further off of SUSA people would be tearing THEIR poll apart more.

Whatever. Cn2's polls can't be taken seriously when you see how they bounce around in methodology -- and result-- even in a period when ALL major polls reflected stability.

Cn/2's reporting shows an obvious liberal bias even though they stumble onto some good things from time to time. But I consider them a Conway (Democrat) media-organ with just enough exceptions to justify (in their minds) fair and balanced reporting.

One positive thing about them is they are more issues oriented than the rest of media.

"Hiding the Decline" is something they are experts at: http://newsbusters.org/blogs/jeff-poor/2010/04/28/hide-decline-global-warming-video-creator-says-mann-backlash-effort-clean

LOL!!

Now THAT's a video theme we could use (and a subtle tie in to the EPA going ahead with carbon emissions regulation despite no Congressional authority, which Rand opposes.... and by the way, Where's Jack?...)

Is it true Anderson Cooper is a Vanderbilt? If so, I think it obvious there's a bit of a bias there.

We need to find a way to show that bias. They accuse us of being pawns of the rich, even though they're the rich. Should be funny. We have to find a way to expose the humor of that situation.

Pollster is only good for looking at past polls. Their graph can suck it.
