FAUX NEWS SHOWS THIRTEEN POINT DEMOCRATIC LEAD
Edited on Mon Nov-06-06 12:08 PM by DemocratSinceBirth

NEW YORK — Nearly half of likely voters — 49 percent — favor the Democratic candidate in their House district and 36 percent the Republican, with 15 percent still undecided in a FOX News poll conducted the final weekend before the midterm elections.

More Democrats (37 percent) than Republicans (26 percent) say they are extremely interested in tomorrow’s elections, and more Democrats (89 percent) than Republicans (81 percent) say they plan to vote for their party’s candidate in their district.

1. And since it's FAUX News, we know the actual numbers likely favor
Dems even more.

Fair and balanced: BULL.

2. I Have To Be Fair...
They were in the minority of polls in 04 that showed a Kerry win...


Heads must be exploding at Freak Republic...

14. You must not watch any fox news.
The strong rw bias is 100%, 100% of the time. Every second of their time is spent promoting their agenda.

5. I would remind people here that Fox actually has a history of doing very good polls
Their polls in 2004 were right on target, and I believe their final 2004 poll showed Kerry leading within the MOE.

Now how FOX spins their polls is another matter entirely.

8. Why Would A Pollster Purposefully Distort The Results Of His Polls?
Who is going to pay attention to polls that have proven to be wrong.

Maybe it's just me but I think FOX is becoming more and more liberal. And what's with Murdoch supporting Hillary?

Yesterday, on FNS, Brit Hume did not seem optimistic on Republican chances in either House or Senate.
