1. Just caught a bit of Fox in passing

about 30 minutes ago here in the UK. They were interviewing passers by all of whom supported the protests anyway. As such the result of their poll doesn't surprise.

[Lizzie Poppet]

13. I'm genuinely amazed!

That they allowed those interviews to air, that is...

[Fire Walk With Me]

2. :D

[NOLALady]

3. 64.29%

[Turborama]

9. 64.64% Now.

I wonder if they'll pull the plug before it gets to 65...

:hi:

[Turborama]

15. Yes 65.03% ___ No 31.49%

Edited to update the figures to the recent breakthrough of the psychological 65% barrier (which I'm assuming exists somewhere in Coporationville).

[stopbush]

4. Here's how Faux will spin this to their idiot viewers:

64% of those polled support the protesters, while 32% don't. 32 is half of 64, SO, half of Americans don't support the protesters. :)

[Turborama]

10. LOL!

That's not a very far fetched prediction, actually. :hi:

[L0oniX]

17. LOL

[dana_b]

24. yep! lol - they are good at fuzzy math n/t

[Jackpine Radical]

5. By rights, this result oughtta scare the Bejesus outta TPTB.

Shit, if Fox can't be trusted to deliver a wingnut-slanted result, who can? If they're getting in the neighborhood of 63-37 IN FAVOR of OWS, then the level of support in the public at large must be 90%.

[Turborama]

11. My thoughts exactly. n/t

:hi:

[ehrnst]

6. "This is a non-scientific viewer question."

LOL!!! Doesn't that describe all their veiwers...

[Turborama]

12. LOL, good point

...it does indeed.

[Jackpine Radical]

18. Well, about 65% of them seem to have SOME contact with reality.

[Douglas Carpenter]

7. I hope everyone here votes in this poll

16. Hi Douglas & likewise.

Thanks for posting the link. :hi:

[Billypenn]

8. The wall is falling...

...we are all the same now. Corporate News channels won't know how to sell to us now. This is the beginning of the beginning.

[workinclasszero]

14. Can you believe it??

The freakrepublic must be losin their tiny collective minds over this!

OWS...You are my HEROES!!!!!

[Jackpine Radical]

19. Never underestimate the powers of denial in a well-practiced mind.

The typical FReeper would deny the validity of the law of gravity while in the process of falling from an airplane.

[workinclasszero]

23. LOL I don't doubt it nt

[Vinnie From Indy]

29. lol!

Brilliantly stated!

Cheers!

[flobee1]

38. They are

and its very enjoyable to watch a rightwingers brain shortcircuit trying to understand OWS

[bvar22]

20. 66% ... Thats just a fringe.

like the fringe that wanted a Public Option,

or the fringe that wants the RICH to pay their fair share,

or the fringe that opposes "Free Trade",

or the fringe that....



Who will STAND and FIGHT for THIS American Majority?
The Wall Street Protesters WILL!!

You will know them by their WORKS,
not by their excuses.

Solidarity99!

[Defectata]

21. proud to be a member of the 99% Fringe

How about you?

[LatteLibertine]

22. 66% on a Pox News Poll?

Not looking good for the status quo.

[Inuca]

25. Up to almost 67% YES

right now.

[Matariki]

26. interesting choices of word in that 'poll'

"I am not even sure what they want" is the meme that FOX et al has been pushing. No surprise to see it first.

The second choice sounds so serious and 'grown up'

The third choice use of "the little guy" seems like a subtle discouragement - who wants to identify with "the little guy". It's, well, belittling.

Anyway, they're insignificant assholes, FOX 'News' is.

[rhett o rick]

27. 66.88%

[lindysalsagal]

28. 67.49%

Hysterical!

[veness]

30. Yes 67.78% - 121,816 votes. No 28.82% - 51,790 votes.

Maybe. I am not even sure what they want. 2.59% (4,655 votes)


No. They have no idea how jobs are created or how a free-enterprise system works. 28.82% (51,790 votes)


Yes. These folks are right about corporate greed and what's happening to the little guy. 67.78% (121,816 votes)


Other (post a comment). 0.81% (1,450 votes)

[TexasTowelie]

31. Over 68% Now.

Do you think that they will get the message?

[Turborama]

32. Wow, awesome! Up to 68.15% (125,137 votes). And the No's are down to 28.47% (52,278 votes)

I'm sad to say that I'm not very optimistic about what they will do with the message if they do get it, though.

Welcome to DU! :hi:

[woo me with science]

33. Notice the poll has an option of "other" that specifically invites people to leave a comment,

yet comments have been disabled on the page. I wonder if comments were initially enabled, but they did not like what they were hearing.

[Iwillnevergiveup]

34. 68.18

Did my little old YES vote do that?

[tblue37]

35. Even higher now:

Maybe. I am not even sure what they want. 2.58% (4,794 votes)

36. Has anyone found the comments posted there by those who clicked on "Other"?

I'm curious to see what's being said by the 1,351 who went for that option and for those who followed this instruction "Share your thoughts, answer our question then click "Leave a Comment."" but haven't been able to find their comments. :shrug:

[barbtries]
