- Poll: World Opinion on Election (Guardian Unlimited)
"Millions of Americans are scratching their heads over how to vote on November 2 after the last of the three televised presidential debates left George Bush and John Kerry neck and neck over jobs, education, health care and taxes, with little mention of Iraq or 9/11. But the rest of the world, according to a poll we and several other newspapers publish today, has already made up its mind, backing the Democratic challenger by a margin of two to one."
"Strikingly, though, political differences may now be casting shadows in other areas. Young Britons, avid consumers of Big Macs, Starbucks and Friends, are now hostile to American culture on a scale traditionally associated with the French. Canada, Mexico and South Korea feel even more threatened. It is common ground that Iraq and the Guantánamo Bay and Abu Ghraib scandals have eroded the sympathy generated by the 2001 terrorist attacks. Encouragingly for whoever does win, 90% believe it is important to maintain good relations with the US. The danger is, perhaps, of expecting too much from a Kerry victory." 10-04
- -Editorial - Exit Polls Were Not a Mistake (TheHill.com - Dick Morris)
"Exit polls are almost never wrong. They eliminate the two major potential fallacies in survey research by correctly separating actual voters from those who pretend they will cast ballots but never do and by substituting actual observation for guesswork in judging the relative turnout of different parts of the state."
"So reliable are the surveys that actually tap voters as they leave the polling places that they are used as guides to the relative honesty of elections in Third World countries. When I worked on Vicente Fox’s campaign in Mexico, for example, I was so fearful that the governing PRI would steal the election that I had the campaign commission two U.S. firms to conduct exit polls to be released immediately after the polls closed to foreclose the possibility of finagling with the returns. When the polls announced a seven-point Fox victory, mobs thronged the streets in a joyous celebration within minutes that made fraud in the actual counting impossible."
"This was no mere mistake. Exit polls cannot be as wrong across the board as they were on election night. I suspect foul play."
Editor's Note: Dick Morris, the author of the editorial, is a commentator for Republicans. Staff of the Awesome Library also have expertise in survey research and strongly agree that foul play is much more likely than mistakes. For example, "over-sampling of women" is not a credible explanation. Even introductory survey research classes show how to avoid this error. The exit polls were jointly funded by the major networks, including Fox News. Such a beginnner's mistake is extremely improbable for the exit polls.
Morris's explanation is that many of the exit poll results were deliberately faked. That is one explanation. After looking at the actual voting results, such as in small counties in Florida, another explanation is much more likely: The exit poll results were correct--but the electronic voting system was sabotaged. 11-04
- Extinction Level Event (National Geographic)
"Scientists studying the fallout from a huge asteroid that crashed into Earth 65 million years ago have gained better understanding of the event that most likely took out the dinosaurs and much other life on the planet."
"The asteroid that created the Chicxulub (pronounced CHEEK-shoo-loob) crater, located on the Yucatán Peninsula of Mexico, was probably more than 6 miles (10 kilometers) wide, researchers estimate. The resulting crater was 110 to 125 miles (180 to 200 kilometers) wide and very deep. Today it is buried under several miles of limestone and is mostly underwater." 4-05
