The rest of the poll makes sense, but the number for African-Americans seems high.

1. Trumpers trolling the poll?

[hlthe2b]

2. Poll participants wanting to "pwn the libs?" Knowing it was a fox poll in advance, I wouldn't be

surprised. How hard is it to claim to be a lib on a poll?

[2naSalit]

3. Which brings to mind that time they show a list of percentages

that added up to 110%.

I don't think most polls woll be correct anymore, the hacking is complete.

[flying_wahini]

4. Well, it's Fox. They lie.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

5. We don't know anything about the poll.

And some of those "liberals" could be Bernie Bros who have vowed to vote for Trump if Bernie isn't the nominee.

7. true nt

[Luciferous]

6. Why would you believe a Fox News poll?!

[steve2470]

11. I've seen some Faux polls that actually seemed valid

Granted, Faux is NOT my go-to source. This poll was probably wrecked by people lying.

23. Fox Polls Have Been Legitimate for Several Years-Get a Grade of A on 538.com

...and they piss off the Orange Anus

[Judi Lynn]

12. Truly.

[TwilightZone]

15. It's one of the better polls out there.

538 has it rated A- with a slight Dem bias. Surprisingly, they use a pretty solid polling organization.

[Turbineguy]

8. They probably mean the machine

will switch 11% of the votes.

[RKP5637]

9. I really question most polls. Had to study that for 2 semesters years ago at college. You can

twist polls anyway you want. It was a damn hard course at school. Seriously.

[Botany]

10. It is a Fox Poll

[TwilightZone]

16. Your screenshot isn't a Fox poll.

It's Rasmussen Reports. Entirely different polling organization.

[Botany]

18. Yes but it was broadcast on Fox

And I don't think Rasmussen would have posted bullshit #s like that.

[Grown2Hate]

38. Rasmussen is only C+ rated on 538, so their methodology isn't even as sound as a

Fox News poll, generally. They skew Republican (Rasmussen), whereas, oddly enough, Fox News polling skews SLIGHTLY Democratic. Interesting to see.

[Midnight Writer]

41. That's some fancy ciphering right there.

[greenjar_01]

13. Susan Sarandon

[Sunriser13]

14. Fake Newz!

Seriously, though, while I give no credence to Faux, at least it shows all are over 50% Biden.

[Turin_C3PO]

17. Fox News

is actually a pretty reliable poll. They’re rated high.

[Brainfodder]

19. Lost me at Fox News.

DUH!

[steve2470]

20. here's an independent (I hope) organization that rates polls

https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/pollster-ratings/

Fox News/Beacon Research/Shaw & Co. Research 538 grade: A-


FWIW.....

22. LOL

[LAS14]

26. :-) Will save that one for re-use. nt

[Stallion]

29. Hey Republicans are People Too

[redstatebluegirl]

24. The same ones who did in 2016 guess who?

[LAS14]

25. Non-whites isn't African Americans. It includes hispanics, asians, native Americans.

There are a lot of conservative hispanics in Florida, for one thing. I'm sure there are other kinds of GOP non-white voters.

But, yeah, maybe just a total misunderstanding of "liberal????"

[steve2470]

27. good points nt

[Hortensis]

35. "Non-whites" is not a liberal group, though it contains both liberals

AND some conservatives who register Democrat to protect against the Republicans. AA voters notably maximize their power by uniting -- within the Democratic Party -- and their bloc especially includes a fair number of conservatives. Black conservatives who vote strongly vote Democrat, though sometimes some may sit out votes like for our first woman president or first black woman governor of Georgia.

Btw, there is no personality type called "moderate." You're either moderate liberal or moderate conservative and either lean or strongly align left or right accordingly. So that one's suspicious; Probably people were invited to self identify and don't know any better; besides, calling yourself moderate's in style with many turned off by toxic partisanship. But they're either one or the other.

Although Sanders and other anti-Democrats insist our party has a bunch of people who are at least as conservative as liberal, some kind of hybrid Dem-Repub, that's just plain party character assassination. We're the liberal party, most members liberal, with fewer conservatives, who tend to be moderate cons overall.

Speaking of the Sanders lie, if we gathered in one place those few who are really so without political ideology and goals that they'd nod and shrug at both Trump's spite fence and wealth transfer to plutocrats and the Democrats' commitment to immigrant rights and progressive economic justice, it'd look something like Times Square does these days. And understandably, many of those odd-bits end up not bothering to vote. Probably only registered back in the pst because their girlfriend did.

28. They are not fucking liberals if they vote for trump, and implies that perhaps

people are not being honest when they give answers to these polls

[Hortensis]

30. Lots of falsities perpetrated with false definitions. But

the biggest one comes from letting people self identify as liberal or conservative when most people today really cannot identify what liberal is and is not. Newt and his sort did a really good job of defining us as something no one would want to be. Only recently are more than a handful of bravehearts starting to identify liberal because of that and because of the discrimination and hostility it often generates.

That said, there is no hard line at all between someone who has a full basket of liberal traits and some farther left who also have some liberal traits but also some not so similar at all. We know some of those voted for Sanders and then for Trump against liberals. And it's likely that some of those resentful white men who'd had too much equality and went to Trump nevertheless consider themselves liberals. And there is such a thing as bigoted liberals, just very weak and small in percentage compared to the right.

Btw, the strongest most defining difference between liberals and conservatives is in attitude toward equality. If Thomas Jefferson's mission statement for our nation speaks for you, you're gonna be liberal.

31. Say Hello To The Real Achievement Of 'Bernie', Sir

[Eliot Rosewater]

32. Unlikely...BTW virus is going to be all we are talking about by Nov, doubt we will

be able to have an election. I hope so but I dont know.

Putin wants us dead, Rump wants ALL liberals and democrats dead...rough times ahead.

[edhopper]

33. self identified

[underpants]

34. Hey! I just told this guy on the phone I was a liberal.

Yuk yuk yuk.

[ananda]

36. I know some people who call themselves liberals...

... but aren't even close.

[customerserviceguy]

37. Maybe Sanders supporters

Fox News has aped the Orange Anus by running a bunch of "Bernie is getting cheated" stories. It wouldn't surprise me if some Sanders voters would stay on the line if they knew they were doing a poll for Fox News.

[JCMach1]

39. That poll seems messed up in several ways

Best completely forget polling until August.

[LizBeth]

40. Sanders supporters

[Midnight Writer]

42. What strikes me is voters aged 65 and older. That is the conservative GOP base.

[ooky]

43. No liberals I know.

The liberals I know aren't stupid. The democrat could be a gorilla and they would vote for him to get rid of Trump.

[JesterCS]

44. Fox News liberals maybe, which are just

Centrist repubs. Real liberals know better

[LiberalFighter]

45. What is their definition of liberal?

[meadowlander]

46. 11% of the respondents are Libertarians who got confused.
