Look at the Fox polls - HUGE deviations

[Josh]

Coincidence?

Bush Approval:

Newsweek
49-44

Ipsos-Reid/Cook
48-45

CNN/USA Today/Gallup (!)
49-48

Zogby
49-51

Associated Press
47-50

FOX
53-41

And here's a look at some of the recent General Election matchups:

Kerry-Bush

Newsweek:
48-46

Quinniapac
51-43

CNN/USA/Gallup
53-46

FOX
43-47



The Gallup Poll also had Edwards winning by one and Clark losing by 3, both within the margin of era - statistical tie. Here's how Fox calls those races in their poll:

Bush: 50
Edwards: 37

Bush: 53
Clark: 34

Can you believe these people? It's like they're not even TRYING to appear reasonable anymore.

1. Might be skewed

since Fox tends to attract conservative viewers.

3. This is a phone poll

not one of their TV viewers.

4. I think faux has gotten worse

I used to sit with my Republican friend(yes I have one, its a weird relationship) and watch fox news while I would call out all the instances of RW bias. It seems to be getting easier and easier these days.

And if the go to ollie north for "expert analysis" one more time.....

5. Statistics are soooo easily manipulated.

That's pretty much all that Math 271 taught me.

6. Maybe Fox is factoring in BBV
