A headline in this mornings edition of the Mansfield News-Journal (sometimes referred to colloquially as the News-Urinal) reads, "Poll shows Kerry favored by Ohio voters." Technically its a true statement; according to the article, 41 percent of voters in this critical swing state say they will cast their ballot for John Kerry.
But heres the first sentence of the story, provided by the Associated Press: "President Bush has a 6 percentage point lead over John Kerry in Ohio...." In 2000 Bush won the state by a 4.4 percent margin.
To the editors credit, they have apparently corrected the mistake in the on-line edition.
