Polls Lie Or NBC Lies Or Both LIE!

This morning Jan 30, 2012 on NBC’s Today Show two graphics of NBS NEWS MARIST POLL were shown 7 min. and 30 sec. a part from each other.

AT 7:02:15 am:

Mitt Romney 42%
Newt Gingrich 27%
Ron Paul 16%
Rick Santorum 11%

AT 7:09:49 am:

Mitt Romney 42%
Newt Gingrich 27%
Rick Santorum 16%
Ron Paul 11%

Both Graphic were labeled NBS NEWS MARIST POLL Jan. 25 – Jan. 27. Which is it Ron Paul 16% or Ron Paul 11% or are they both wrong?

I have the video on DVD but don’t know how to up load it to DP.
