Earth to the Chronicle
CBS News points out something interesting in an online story (we'll assume the story isn't based on fake documents) about the debate last Thursday:
But, with the exception of Mr. Bush’s essentially hometown newspaper, the Houston Chronicle – which gave the president a 51-45 percent advantage – Kerry faired significantly better in online polls from around the country.
The Chicago Tribune's online poll, for example, gave Kerry a 68-31 percent edge, while Newsday.com had Kerry ahead by 83-16 percent.
Similar results were found in the Tampa Tribune online poll (74-23 percent in favor of Kerry) and the St. Louis Post-Dispatch (Kerry the winner by 83-7 percent).
The Denver Post online poll had Kerry winning 74-21 percent, and the Atlant [sic] Journal Constitution had him ahead of the president by 57-30 percent.
MSNBC's online poll showed Kerry the winner by 62–38 percent, while CBSNews.com had him leading Mr. Bush by 88-10 percent.
Everyone knows online polls are unscientific. But if most major news organizations' online polls favored Kerry except the Chronicle's, shouldn't that be a clue to the Chronicle Bigs that their intended readership trends conservative? I say intended because it appears the Chronicle has already turned off many Houstonians.
