Employee Of Polling Company Used By Bush, Lieberman Pleads Guilty To Fraud
September 19, 2006,

NEW HAVEN, (AP) _ An employee of a company that conducted campaign polls for President Bush, Sen. Joe Lieberman and other political candidates pleaded guilty Tuesday to making up poll results, according to the U.S. Attorney's office.

Darryl Hylton, 42, of Hamden pleaded guilty before U.S. District Judge Janet C. Hall in Bridgeport to one count of conspiracy to commit wire fraud.

Hylton admitted that he conspired to falsify survey and polling results to meet deadlines or other requirements that DataUSA otherwise could not meet. He also admitted that he directed other DataUSA employees to falsify results in a variety of ways, including changing demographic information, such as gender, to satisfy client requirements.

And today, Bush'e numbers rise to 47% in the polls

2. Great, another cheater
Wanna bet he's pubbie?

That 34-49 demographic is just deadly, too old for the real dotcom boom, too young for the 60s. Generation suck.

We know Rasmussen and Gallup fiddle with their demographics. I wouldn't worry about any polls except Harris and AP/Ipsos/Reid. Those are the honest ones.
