SHOCK POLL!!! Obama leads by 7 in FOX News Poll

[Johnny2X2X]

Kind of old news now, but if FOX has Obama up by 7 that means their data must have been more overwhelming than even that.

On top of that the Mitt has gone from up 8 in the Conservative Rasmussen Poll to down 2 in about a week. That's a 10 point swing towards Obama in a week for Rasmussen.

Of course my SHOCK POLL headline is mocking Drudge who selectively post poll results to their sheeple on a regular basis.

1. Fire up the base

First, we don't believe FOX polls, remember, or any poll which doesn't give us the results we want, so why believe this one?

But, this could be just to fire up the base. What better way to get $$$, than to state you are behind?

3. Opposite

But, the opposite is true, people donate to frontrunners more than to underdogs.

4. Those who are hedging their bets yes

Do you not feel Limbaugh, O'Riley, Hannity and company telling how grim thing are won't get every right wing, conservative talking about how the country is under attack with democracy as we know it being at risk won't get the base motivated?

We may have to differ on this one because I think this is like putting a match to gasoline.

2. Are they trying to surpress Democratic turnout?

Are they trying to create the impression that it is unnecessary for Democrats to turn out and vote for Obama?

5. This could also mean that

a lot of liberals watch Fox News and voted in those two polls.
