Yesterday I pointed out a crazy mistake from the NY Times regarding polling in Maryland’s gubernatorial election. Myself and other readers of OliverWillis.com e-mailed the Times, and to their credit they have printed a correction in Saturday’s paper:
An article yesterday about close races in which black voter turnout is expected to be crucial misstated the findings of polls in the race for governor in Maryland. Polls show that the Democrat, Martin O’Malley, is either leading Gov. Robert L. Ehrlich Jr., a Republican, or is ahead of him within the poll’s margin of sampling error. Mr. O’Malley is not “trailing by several points.”
Kudos to OW.com readers and for the Times for owning up to their mistake.
