From a Drudge "flash":

Sen. John Kerry "has taken big lead," according "to an L.A. Times poll."
But the Times poll that showed Kerry "beating Bush by 7 points" has created a controversy over whether the poll's sample accurately reflects the population as whole, ROLL CALL reports on Tuesday.
"Not counting independents, the Times' results were calculated on a sample made up of 38 percent Democrats and 25 percent Republicans -- a huge and unheard-of margin," ROLL CALL claims.

I seem to recall reading that this COUNTRY is 38% Dem, 25% GOP. If that's accurate, Drudge is once again desperately trying to make something out of nothing for his loyal right-side readership.
