Rasmussen: Fox Fans Favor Bush 65% to 28% (duh)

[tritsofme]

Thursday, June 17, 2004--Among fans of the Fox News Channel, George W. Bush is winning by a landslide--65% to 28%. Those who prefer CNN also prefer Kerry by an almost identical margin (63% to 26%).

The latest Rasmussen Reports survey documents a similar split on the radio dial. Those who listen to National Public Radio prefer Kerry by a 68% to 27% margin. However, those who listen to Christian radio stations on a regular basis prefer Bush, 71% to 23%.

The gaps go deeper than simply the Presidential election. In the race for Congress, Fox fans will vote for GOP candidates by a 56% to 25% margin. The CNN audience will vote Democratic by a 54% to 27% margin.

Given this polarized environment, we are especially pleased with the bi-partisan audience that visits RasmussenReports.com. Forty-three percent (43%) of our visitors are Republicans while 38% are Democrats.

CNBC, while hosting a smaller audience, also has more bi-partisan appeal--47% of their audience will vote for Bush while another 47% express a preference for Kerry.

Rush Limbaugh, however, has an entirely different audience--85% say they'll vote for Bush and 11% for Kerry.

Rasmussen is the polling company Fox News uses.

5. It's interesting to note that both outlets have a right wing bias.

Fox is, of course, ridiculously over the top in it's pro-Republican news coverage, but CNN is just as bad. They're just more subtle, with a kind of 'bias through omission".

The flip-flopped support suggests that CNN is the ideological opposite of Fox News. It's not.

7. I'm surprised that many Fox watchers

were capable of responding to a survey.

8. "Drool if you want to vote for Bush"

That's how they conducted the poll of Fox viewers. Oh, and they held a twinkie in front of them while they did it. :evilgrin:
