David Kranz, the dean of South Dakota political reporters, has subtly changed the lede in his piece this morning to read that Daschle "has slightly increased his lead."
Still wrong, of course.
Last night, Kranz wrote that Daschle "continues to gradually increase his lead over former Rep. John Thune."
The sample was two polls. You cannot have a gradual increase with a sample of two.
This is just basic poll reporting. Editors and reporters know this, or should. Which leads one to conclude that bias is a problem.
