2012 U.S. Presidential Election

My point was, Roy, that Fox is a practical haven for the GOP. Are you suggesting that CNN favors the Democrats?

Come to think of it, I have no idea if it does. I watch MSNBC. I grew sick of CNN a long time ago. If CNN does favor the Democrats, I'm not about to switch. (Showing favor to either side is not good for a news organization.)

I am saying that these companies outsource to polling organizations, unless they are a known Partisan Pollster like PPP, you cannot claim bias just by the company that hired them. By the way Obama was winning to Romney in the previous two Fox News polls, again its all about the swings of the base during a Primary Election.

Roy, please... There are no Democrats that watch Fox News unless they want the laughs. Even most serious Republicans think folks like Glenn Beck are crazy. The only smart thing that guy ever did was admit that the Birther movement was a sham.

Every time I hear their claim that they are "the only fair and balanced news network" I feel like throwing up. That is false advertising, plain and simple.

It no surprise to me at all that a poll taken by Fox News would fall in Romney's (or any Republican's) favor. It IS, a surprise, however, that Obama would be so close in such a poll.

So umm care to explain why the two previous Fox polls have Romney losing to Obama?

I have no idea. My best guess is, Fox was supporting Cain at that point, like a lot of the GOP were. I certainly didn't take part in any poll offered by Fox. Do you think I watch it?

I still stand by the facts, Roy. In ten of those popular polls, Obama wins more than Romney. I answered your original question, btw, when you claimed that Romney was beating Obama in the polls. It would be nice for you to acknowledge that I was right.

Again you realize that Fox does not offer the poll, it is Opinion Dynamics. Fox News outsources their polling to that group, just like MSNBC and CNN outsource their polling, and every other network does the same.

Sure and I hope polls from over a year out in the mist of the primary battle offer you comfort. I don't know how they would, but then again I am not you.

I'm glad I'm not you, Roy, because you, like everyone who votes Republican, is a dupe.

You think you are a Republican, but only the richest people in this country are true members of the GOP. Everyone else who votes for them is simply fooled by their false promises, such as the campaign promises that they made in 2010 which they have not yet kept. You're fooled by their promises to increase employment while they strike down every bill that would do so. You buy their claim that taxing the rich would cause more unemployment.

I'm glad I'm not you, because folks like you buy all the bull that they put out, despite what common sense shows everyone else.
