Fox News poll: ‘Do you think Obama is still sneaking cigarettes at the White House?’

Huffington Post’s Sam Stein highlighted an eye-catching question in the Fox News poll that was released yesterday. Noting that President Obama “says he quit smoking,” Fox’s poll asked whether people believed he was “still sneaking cigarettes.” Thirty-seven percent said that they did: http://thinkprogress.org/2009/06/12/fox-poll-smoking/


As ThinkProgress has previously noted, Fox News polls are known for often including a few loaded and misleading questions. In May, a Fox poll asked, “Who do you think the White House will put in a muzzle first — Vice President Joe Biden or First Dog Bo?”

1. I really don't care if he smokes a pack a day.

Hell, he could light up during a press conference for all I care.

[YOY]

2. This is about as important as Palin's toenails.

n.t.

[Liberal Gramma]

3. Who cares?

If that's the only concrete thing you have to criticize, maybe you should reassess your position

[Dappleganger]

4. Those comments...

:rofl:

[notadmblnd]

5. it would be nice if the White House would find a way to muzzle Faux News

Who cares if Obama still smokes? AFIC, it's a personal choice.

[Demeter]

6. None of My Business, Or Theirs

But little minds can't grasp anything larger.

7. OBAMA WANTS TO TAKE YOUR GUNS AND CIGARETTES AWAY!11! eom

[goddess40]

8. I'm sure he's using the same spot Laura did

I wish, for health reasons, he didn't but it's his choice. I hope he knows his smoking makes it more likely his daughters will pick up the nasty habit.

9. With the messes Bush left behind, I wouldn't be surprised if he was doing heroin...

Frankly the amount of crisis would drive anyone to some sort of substance abuse.

10. I wish some of you would tell me the brand of cigarette that Obama smokes.

I would like to send a carton to each of our other politicians.

[Contrary1]

11. Fair game, since Fox ran a ‘Do you think Bush is still sneaking alcohol at the White House?’ poll.

Oh, wait...

[Swamp Rat]

12. Better poll: Is Rash Limballs still popping pills bought illegally off the street?

[BolivarianHero]

13. Other

I don't give a flying fuck. I don't care for tobacco, but I have my own vices so who the Hell am I too judge? Karl Marx was an alcoholic, and look at all of his contributions to philsoophy and to our understanding of history and political economy.

14. thank god they're covering the 'important' issues.....

oddly enough, they never questioned whether junior* was sneaking a drink into the white house....

[shraby]

15. Most of the online polls should add one more option:

I don't give two hoots. It's not important.

[get the red out]

16. X-Files

My God, we have elected the evil Cigarette Smoking Man from X-Files as President! Who would have thought!

Thankfully Fox News is on the case; we can expect coverage of the alien invasion on "The Factor" tonight for sure.

[Captain Hilts]

17. Well, at minimum, he's probably smoked all the packs he found Laura'd left under seat cushions. nt

[leftofcool]

18. Who gives a rat's ass

Smokem if ya gottem, Mr Prez. Want a whiskey with that smoke? Yep, I'll have a smoke with ya

20. GOP moral crusaders.

No sex! No dancing! Dresses must reach your ankles!

[quidam56]

19. Fake Noise is running out of material to use on the GOP channel

What freakin' America does Hannity live in ??? http://www.wisecountyissues.com/?p=138 It's sure not my America.

[Vickers]

21. Probably muslin cigarettes.

:grr:

[Marr]

22. Well, they also asked if viewers though Bush was sneaking booze at the White House.

Oh wait... no they didn't. The question was more like, "Is Bush Amazing or just Extraordinary?"

[johnaries]

23. With the pressure on him, I'd be smoking more than cigarettes! nt

[KingFlorez]

24. What?

That poll is completely pointless.

[KittyWampus]

25. Is Rush still popping Oxycontin? Is O'Reilly still playing with loofas? Is Hannity still a Nazi?
