In his article, he comments that with that poll it would have been up another 3%. He will wait for other polls today.

Good lord, can our media be any more in the tank? And I'm not really conspiracy minded in that I don't think they're rooting for either party (well, Fox being the exception, of course). I really just think they're all vapid, shallow prom kings and queens who want attention so they ramp up anything to keep things tight.

Hate them so much. My blood pressure and optimism is much better since I turned them off.
