OpenCDA Gripes About Press Poll

Seems Bill McCrory is upset by that Coeur d’Alene Press poll that shows newcomer Adam Graves comfortably ahead of long-time incumbent Ron Edinger, 56% to 44% (or about 310 to 245 votes). McCrory is miffed that the bar graph seems to put Graves even further ahead than he actually is in the poll. The headline on McCrory’s posts reads: “You’re being misled.” You can read why Bill thinks the public is being misled by the poll here. There’s also an exchange between Bill & Adam, beginning with this from Bill: “To the extent the Press feels any sense of duty to accurately and completely present information, it needs to use online software that will allow accurate and complete presentation. Given the Press’s history of sloppy, incomplete, skewed reporting of news, it is no surprise that it employed a deceptive graphic display technique on a novelty poll.” Adam responds: i’ve got the viability. If i can get the vote out is yet to be seen. To hit what looks to be 300+ on the press poll i think is telling dont you?”

Question: Do you think there’s an upset in the making in this race? And/or: Does this mean OpenCDA.com is in Edinger’s corner?
