I am posting this again in case anyone missed it: NY Times Poll Bombshell: Voters Now Back Bush Over Gore After a week of high-stakes wrangling over Florida's photo-finish presidential election, more Americans would rather see George W. Bush become president than Vice President Al Gore, a New York Times/CBS News poll has found. Though Gore won the nation's popular vote on Election Day 49 to 48 percent, his conduct in the days since has apparently prompted some of his supporters to jump ship. 1720 adults surveyed Friday through Sunday for the Times/CBS poll picked Bush over Gore by a margin of 44 to 40 percent. The Times reported that another 14 percent said they "don't know" who should be president. 3 percent said neither should go to the White House. The poll has a margin of error of plus or minus 3 percent. Unlike other post-election surveys conducted by Newsweek and CNN/Time, New York Times/CBS pollsters used the same sample in this survey as they had in preelections polls, which were comprised of registered and likely voters. The New York Times/CBS poll also showed that Bush supporters remain adamant that their man won, while support among Gore backers is weakening. 90 percent of Bush voters say the Texas governor should go to the White House while just 74 percent of Gore voters want the vice president to do the same. 86 percent of Bush voters approve of their man's handling of the post-election crisis while just 73 percent of Gore voters say the same thing about their candidate. The stunning poll results first appeared in the Times' Tuesday edition, where editors camouflaged the pro-Bush news by headlining the least newsworthy aspect of the poll's findings. Nowhere in the paper's accompanying report are the new presidential preference numbers noted. But statistical charts and graphs under the Times' yawner headline "American's Patiently Await Election Outcome" revealed the paper's biggest discovery: the popular majority that voted for Al Gore on Election day is deserting the vice president in droves.
