1. Fox and friends better be careful who they wish for. Bernie might end up being

very popular.

Trump without the hate, is how many of their viewers are gonna see him.

2. As in, Fox News.

[HerbChestnut]

3. Wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I know this is Fox News so obviously taken with a grain of salt, but this is the first national poll to show Bernie in the lead. This is huge!!

[kstewart33]

4. Fox is loving these numbers.

They want Bernie to win as do the Republican strategists and party. None of whom have said a bad word about Bernie.

The silence is deafening.

[FrenchieCat]

6. The silence will be the death of us all!

Once they get started!

5. Faux Noise!

Helping KKKarl and the KKKochs!

16. Meanwhile, Hillary supporters are cheering about a poll put out by ex-con men

Go figure.

[KingFlorez]

7. Fox News is playing games

They know exactly what they are doing.

[dimple]

8. Let us dispel with the notion that they don't

12. Excellent nt

[SheenaR]

9. I would trust their polling

Over friggin Gravis and ARG which Clinton supporters love to tout.

So would the lord of percentages Nate Silver

10. Fox stirring up stuff

[Ken Burch]

11. Are you arguing that the poll is a Fox News trick?

We've proved that HRC isn't the only electable candidate in our primaries now.

[firebrand80]

13. Me?

I'm not suggesting anything, just sharing the information.

Everyone is free to freak out, or not, as they see fit.

[AgingAmerican]

14. Funny this!

For months and months Hillary supporters posted FOX polls where Hillary was 40-60 points ahead and they were dancing like the Dallas Cowboys cheerleaders. Now their weather vane has changed directions and they do the contemptuous laughing smiley boogie instead!

Fickle, that weather vane...

15. K&R

[aaaaaa5a]

17. This tells everyone everything we need to know as to who the GOP wants to face in November.

Go ahead... take the FOX news bait. Ignore the meddling. Believe the propaganda.


By the way, per FOX news, didn't Mitt Romney beat Obama in 2012?

[ram2008]

18. Holy shit!! Fox is actually a good pollster.

This is awesome!

[TSIAS]

19. Poll is a joint effort

With a Democratic and GOP polling firm.

Interesting that more cell phones were called than land lines.

It definitely looks like the race is closing rapidly at a national level. Now Bernie just needs to win Nevada and keep things going in the right direction.

20. NEWS FLASH! FOX NEWS CARRYING WATER FOR BERNIE

They know even trump or cruz would win against Bernie when they blanket the air waves 24/7 with attack ads against him

[DemocraticWing]

21. Wow! Fox's polling about the one honest thing they do, they use both Democratic and Republican firms

Anderson Robbins Research is the Democratic firm, and are very highly regarded. 538 gives these polls a good rating.

WOW!

22. Time will tell...

Those who (nervously) laugh off this latest FOX poll, should consider the trends shown on the RCP composite (poll of polls) chart:


Sanders is rising and/or surging in nearly every state all across the nation. Hillary's big leads are shrinking with each new poll. If he actually wins the Democratic nomination, a lot of Republicans are going to vote for him as well, and he could very well become our next POTUS.

Bernie has the momentum. Do not underestimate him.

[speaktruthtopower]

23. Pretty easy

to game these polls by weighting the likelihood of different demographics showing up at the polls.
