Fox News Poll has Obama ahead by 9%?

[George II]

I'm just wondering, Fox News has the biggest margin for Obama of all the Presidential polls. Do you think it's "fixed" to lull REAL Obama supporters to sleep, hoping they'll figure the race is decided and some may not bother to vote?

Curious, wouldn't you say?

1. Or They Want To Scare The Base

Or Faux Noise Propaganda wants to scare the Republican base into thinking that they'd better vote or the <cue the bogey-man music> Kenyan Muslim Socialist will get re-elected.

3. It's not the biggest lead, Pew, I think had Obama up by 10.

and it was taken before the Ryan decision. Actually it's in line with several other polls that had Obama leading by 7-10 points.

4. Fox News recently switched to bipartisan pollsters

If you look into the details of their polls, you will see that a Democrat and a Republican conduct the polls. This may keep the polls from being as ridiculously biased toward Republicans, as is the case with their TV shows.

Even before switching to this bipartisan polling method, Fox was not known for conducting bad polls, as far as I know. The polling department seems to be independent from the other departments.

5. Ahhhh...pulling the old Rassy switcheroo tactic

trying to legitimize themselves closer to the election hoping all their previous work and labors have set the stage. I know the "entertainment" label has hurt their egos profoundly. They really and truly want to be 'news'.

6. They're lying, just like the rest of the right.

Hey, if it's ok for Rmoney to lie, it's ok for FAUX to lie. And they're lying about the the 9%. I'm sure its more like 20%.
