[Peace-discuss] Fwd: What Did a US-funded Poll Say About a Karzai First-Round Victory?

[Robert Naiman]

The British newspaper The Telegraph is claiming that a US funded poll
indicates that Hamid Karzai will not win re-election as President of
Afghanistan in the first round. But the Telegraph report is
misleading. A Washington Post account of the same poll shows that
Karzai had 45% of the decided vote - much closer to the 50% needed to
avoid a runoff.
