I learned how to do bias evaluations of web sources in an ethics class. The site you listed is biased and is likely not an objective source for political opinion. It can be seen by an examination of the titles of books site listed in association with this site, predominately conservative, anti-abortion, anti-'political correctness', etc., publications:

http://www.encounterbooks.com/

Additionally, one of the two founders of this website has a list of his published editorials, all of which show a decided conservative slant:

http://www.realclearpolitics.com/Commentary/com-Tom_Bevan.html

The other author of this site, John McIntyre, lists his editorial publications too, which also contain themes biases toward conservative themes:

http://www.realclearpolitics.com/Commentary/com-John_McIntyre.html

The point is, if you want objective information to base your own decisions on, it's better to locate as close to unbiased sources as possible, otherwise you will get a slanted view, and the quality of your decisions will likely suffer. It's not that biased sources can't provide objective data, but that often they do not. That's the difference between objective sources and propaganda.

Agreed. CNNUSATODAYGALLUP typically skews left/liberal/Democratic, so Bush is probably up my more than 8..probably 10 or more!!!

Hoss,

Consider this source.....

http://www.usatoday.com/news/politicselections/nation/president/2004-10-17-poll_x.htm

Bush Surges in Poll

By USA TODAY staff

"WASHINGTON — With just two weeks left until Election Day, President Bush surged to an eight-point lead over Democratic challenger John Kerry in the latest USA TODAY/CNN/Gallup national poll, a margin comparable to one he enjoyed immediately before the three presidential debates."
