Does Fox News have their polls say Moore is behind to get their minions to vote?

[Quixote1818]

Just curious if doing something like that might be on their radar as a precaution?

1. I think so

2. Makes no sense

Showing a big loss discourages voters. Makes more sense to sbow a close race, so your vote coints. Fox polls include cell phones, while Emerson accounting for the big difference on numbers. When young people vote, we win

6. Fox wants to discourage voters - voter supression is large on their agenda.

They would be more than willing to throw a poll result to seat a GOP senator. The loss in credibility of having a poll wrong is minor.

Their hope is that people think that Jones has it in the bag, so taking the time to vote isn't necessary, it's already won.

14. What station are they going to see in customer courtesy areas, bars, etc?

I don't willing watch Fox, but I see it fairly often on TVs that I don't control when I am out and about.

12. i think it's a Democrat thing to be discouraged by lousy polls

Republicans likely regard them as motivation. loyalty above all -- they fall in line and do their part regardless, they take wins and losses as seriously as they take college football matches.

4. They seem to do things like that. They are not trustworthy.

5. Without a doubt.

7. Anything to get their followers out to the polls. :(

8. if they are it should be criminal. nt

9. That was my speculation

on another thread, and the response I got was essentially that a polling firm would not sully their reputation by cooking the poll. Anyone who would take Fox News money for anything is already suspect in my eyes.

[alarimer]

10. Or to get Dems to stay home.

Because they think they have it in the bag.

13. No doubt
