Tee Hee--Fox news has Bush winning FL,PA,OH,MI

[59millionmorons]

Even though there are new non partisan polls that show a different story. We now can understand why they have Bush leading 47-40, they only polled there staff.

Florida: Bush 48%, Kerry 38%, Nader 3% (Fox News)
Michigan: Bush 42%, Kerry 40%, Nader 5% (Fox News)
Ohio: Bush 45%, Kerry 41%, Nader 4% (Fox News)
Pennsylvania: Bush 46%, Kerry 41%, Nader 3% (Fox News)

Which one doesnt fit?

Kerry Bush Nader
38 48 3 Fox News
47 46 2 American Research Group
48 42 1 Rasmussen


The enormous descrepancy between Fox and the other two really raises some serious issues. A net difference of 16% between Fox and Rasmussen makes one wonder if Fox polls are reliable. Scott Rasmussen is also known to have strong Republican ties, but he is running a polling company, not a TV station, and probably understands that inaccurate polls, even if they favor his guy, are not going to impress potential future customers. This is a tough call, but we are going to go with the one in the middle because to say Bush is way ahead when two other polls say he is behind is hard to swallow.

2. "Florida: Bush 48%, Kerry 38%, Nader 3% (Fox News) "

This is just so that when Jeb steals it for his brother again, people won't question it.

3. HAHAAHA They polled their staff

Well thanks Fox for showing how biased your focus groups are and DO NOT represent the general population.

5. Funniest thing I've seen ALL DAY

Faux is SUCH a joke.

9. Don't laugh

Hannity believes these numbers.

[jackstraw45]

10. Why should I care what a guy named Hannity thinks?

More importantly, why should you?

[porphyrian]

6. Margin of Error

Anything with a margin of error +/-4 or more isn't worth a shit, and anything with a margin of error +/-2 or more is suspect. However, I doubt that Fox News has anything more accurate.

7. Yes - and donkey's fly

If you want real news don't go to Fox. On the other hand if you are into pure fiction they sure fit the bill. Personally, I'd rather read something from Michael Crichton.

8. They polled their staff?

Wow, Kerry is ahead by a lot more than I would expect. Especially since they originally made it standard practice to just fire everyone who had a leftist political slant. Those sound like completely bupkus numbers to me.
