DIGGING DEEPER INTO THE NEWSWEEK POLLS... WHY WERE MAJORS FOCUSING ONLY ON THIS?

HatTip to Hugh Hewitt. Charles at LGF takes a deeper view of the Newsweek poll. More importantly take a look all the polls after the first round of debates. Simplified here:

Newsweek (Bush 45% Kerry 47%, Kerry +2)
LA Times (Bush 51% Kerry 45%, Bush +6)
CNN/USAT/Gallup (Bush 52% Kerry 44%, Bush +8)
IBD/TIPP (Bush 45% Kerry 45%, TIE)
ABC News/WP (Bush 51% Kerry 45%, Bush +6)
Pew Research (Bush 48% Kerry 40%, Bush +8)

Looking at all these polls, it paints a very different picture to some of the news articles I read over the past few days. Why did the major media outlets and wires only focus on the Newsweek polls? Hmm...
