General Election: McCain vs. Obama
Only two fox polls had McCain leading Obama, one done 4/28 - 4/29 and one 9/8 - 9/9 but never more than 3....
All of the rest of the polls done by fox from May 6/17 - 6/18 to November 11/1 - 11/2 had Obama up by as much as 9

General Election: Romney vs. Obama
A fox poll done 5/13 - 5/15 had Obama up by 7.
Then
A fox poll done 6/3 - 6/5 had it as a tie.
But another..
fox poll done 6/24 - 6/26 had Obama up by 5.
Romney by 1...8/19 - 8/21 and 8/19 - 8/21
Back to a tie...10/28 - 10/30 which was basically the same as several other polls done about the same time.
