Kerry up 5 in new CBS/NYTimes poll

[zorkpolitics]

The last CBS NY Times poll was a bit out af whack as well.
http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2004/03/15/opinion/polls/main606469.shtml
It had Kerry at only 38%,  (no other poll has ever had him below 40) and Nader at 7% (no otehr poll has ever had Nader that high).  

Here is a good way to interpret polls: take the last 6 polls, throw out the one with the highest for Bush and the one with the highest for Kerry and average the remaining 4.

HedgeHog keeps a nice running list of National Polls:

I ifnd it amazing that we are already seeing at least 5 new national polls a week.  Plus Rasmusen is running a Daily Tracking poll.  For the last 30 days Bush and Kerry have each been as high as 49% and as low as 43%.  As of today it's Bush 47 Kerry 46:

HedgeHog also keeps a page of State polls, and an up to date tally of EV based on state polling.  As of yesterday Kerry leads 271 to 267 EV:
