Do not underestimate how significant this poll is....
That 38% of those surveyed think that Rather is trying to use his broadcast to help Kerry is huge.
As competitive as the news market is, CBS can't afford to convince nearly 40% of the audience they are using a Hitler Diary quality forgery to help elect their candidate for president.

September 14, 2004--Twenty-seven percent (27%) of voters believe that the CBS Memos concerning President Bush's National Guard service are authentic. However a Rasmussen Reports survey also found that 38% believe the memos are forgeries.
Among voters who are following the story very closely, 56% believe the memos are forgeries and 27% believe they are authentic. Overall, 38% of voters say they are following the story "very" closely and 34% say they are following it "somewhat" closely.
Only 16% of voters think questions about President Bush's National Guard service are "very" important. That view is held by 27% of Democrats, 13% of unaffiliated voters, and 6% of Republicans.
Forty-two percent (42%) of voters have a favorable opinion of Dan Rather, the anchor who reported the story and continues to defend the memos. Thirty-three percent (33%) have an unfavorable opinion of him.
Thirty-eight percent (38%) of voters believe Rather presents the news in an unbiased manner. An identical 38% say that Rather is using his broadcasts to try and help elect John Kerry.
