...Newsweek has been the most blatantly inaccurate, giving Gore six to 10 percent post-convention leads in August and early September, then taking several pages to explain why he's so popular. Three things should make people question the credibility of these polls. First, the results of these polls have generally shown more support for Gore than most others, including Reuters, Gallup, and the Battleground poll. Second, the headlines are based solely on registered voters--a fact that might be easy to overlook, given that it took five or more paragraphs to discover. Third, Newsweek has lauded Gore with such...
...polled is probably the most important factor in evaluating the credibility of what polls have to say. According to Gallup, registered voters, the group Newsweek profiles most prominently, tend to be more Democratic than those who actually vote. Not surprisingly, the Newsweek survey leans to the left of more proven polls...
Susan Schulman's revival of this classic musical was widely praised in the mainstream press. USA Today, Time Magazine, and Newsweek positively bubbled over with appreciation for 'a good, old-fashioned crowd-pleaser.' In fact, the production has many things working in its favor. Although he seems engaged in a constant struggle not to mimic Robert Preston's performance in the original production and the film, Craig Bierko is a reasonably charismatic leading man.

...superb new biography, Robert Kennedy: His Life (Simon & Schuster; 509 pages; $27.50), Newsweek assistant managing editor Evan Thomas addresses the question with moral clarity, psychological subtlety and bracing dramatic pace. Thomas conjures up not only the well-known good Bobby and bad Bobby--the saint and the bully--but all the Bobbys, like cats in a bag: the punk with the resourceful instincts of a statesman (see the Cuban missile crisis or the civil rights struggle in the South), the hawk and the dove, the liberal and the conservative, the plunger and the temporizer, the youthful McCarthyite, the knight...
...TODAY/CNN/Gallup Poll taken this weekend showed Bush leading Gore 46 percent to 45 percent among likely voters, as opposed to Gore leading Bush 47 percent to 46 percent a week ago. Newsweek's poll (which Gore was quoting for months this spring when it was the only one that gave him a chance) now finds the veep ahead 46 percent to 42 percent. By some calculations, the election's just getting warmed up. Voters at large generally don't pay much close attention to the presidential race until after the conventions - which is now. On the other hand, the candidate...
