5. Smelling blood in the water, maybe?
FOX is the king of sensationalist news. I've no doubt that its head is still far up the collective right-wing crack, but I think they'll shift the way the wind's blowing for ratings.

6. OMG: They divided "negative" responses into 3 options, positive into 1.
and then they worded the only positive response as "Great job"

No "okay."

So everyone who doesn't want to lambast George Bush has to pick "great job" while everyone who thinks it was a poor response to begin with has to pick one of three so it spreads the negative vote out while artificially inflating all non-negative responses into "Great job!"

23. Welcome to the wonderful world of Faux skewed push-polling
This way they can restrict reporting of only the "good" item response to reinforce their government-sponsored/corporate-funded propaganda mission.

8. Simply matches the percentage of R/D who were
polled on their impression of Bush's handling of the crisis. They aren't gauging their response on the actual handling, but on how they want Bush to appear.

15. Well, I voted disgraceful and
I was pleased to see that that option has so far received 32%, as opposed to 35% for the great job option. That's only a three-point difference, and this is Faux, after all! For Faux, that's an incredibly high negative response for Shrubbie.
