Isn’t Bush in the lead?

Newsweek magazine and other polls were recently reporting Al Gore ahead by as much as 15 percentage points. The Wall Street Journal, meanwhile, printed different polls that have a history of being quite accurate and they showed George W. Bush ahead by as much as 5 percentage points. Why does The Herald not print this information? Bush may very well still be in the lead. Come on, Herald, print it all.
