As the California gubernatorial race shapes up, Meg Whitman and Jerry Brown are now reported in polls as being in a dead heat, with Whitman at a slight advantage. The Field poll shows Whitman up 46 percent to 43 percent in a hypothetical matchup, which is within the margin of error.
I wanted to point out first, how bias can creep in reporting, in real ways, and not in the hundreds of ways people will claim there to be bias when there isn’t. The following is the first paragraph from an AP article on the topic:
“SACRAMENTO, Calif. — A new poll finds former eBay chief executive Meg Whitman, a billionaire Republican, is now in a dead heat with presumed Democratic nominee Jerry Brown in the race for California governor.”
