Drudge Has A Grudge! (voters, interviews, legal, Democrats)

Drudge touts weeks-old web-based polls.

For his latest trick, Matt Drudge is touting the results of an AP-Yahoo poll that shows a two-point race between Obama and McCain.

For one thing, the poll is not timely. It entered the field on October 3 -- two weeks ago -- and left the field on October 13, which was this Monday.

For another thing, it's an internet-based poll.

And in other news:
Pat Robertson takes a poll and finds people are against Pornography.
(when asked the question: Do you think obscenity should be legal?)
NOW takes a poll and finds women in favor of abortion rights.
(when asked the question: Do you think the government should decide your birth control methods?)

I do believe you has misread that;

Interview dates: October 3, 2008 – October 13, 2008
Interviews: 1,769 adults; 1,528 registered voters
873 Democrats; 650 Republicans

It appears interviews were conducted all the way up to Oct. 13.

2 points - with 15% more dems than reps in poll. Oh my.
