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.
