The Occasional Observer

Latest CNN poll has McCain and Obama tied up. They comment directly on the fact that they show no bounce for McCain here:

"Other polls are showing 'convention bounces' for McCain, but ours does not. The reason is probably due to the fact that the CNN poll has had a very low number of respondents who say they are undecided for several months. CNN is among the most biased and partial purveyors of "news" today. (Or at least that's what they'd say if they were being honest.)

Let's dig a little further:

Another factor may be gender. "Although Sarah Palin is the first woman on a GOP ticket, women nationwide are sticking with Obama -- 52 percent of women are planning to vote Democratic, while 51 percent of men are in the GOP column," Holland added.

Hmmm, that's an interesting result given that Rasmussen's more trustworthy poll showed Obama's lead among women shrink dramatically from +14 one week ago to +3 today.

Nice try, CNN, but you, Oprah, and US Weekly can take your hatchet jobs elsewhere. The American public isn't having any of this year, and your blatant partiality will be part of the cause for McCain/Palin's success.
