Fox News polls released on Wednesday show Joe Biden gaining momentum in the key battleground states of Wisconsin, Arizona, and North Carolina, but those results appear to reflect significant oversampling of Democrats, particularly in Arizona and North Carolina.
In Arizona, for instance, the Fox News poll shows the former vice president with a nine point lead over the president among likely voters, 49 percent to 40 percent.
In Wisconsin the Fox News poll shows former Vice President Biden with an eight point lead over President Trump among likely voters, 50 percent to 42 percent.

No surprise and many know it!! Keep up the good fight and spread the truth!!
That’s O.K. Let them keep oversampling Democrats.
It’ll make the drug addicted Rat voters complacent so they will stay home and get stoned instead.
Fox is becoming a terrible news organization.
Fox uses Opinion Dynamics. They always oversample Democrats.
Every year Democrats”Even Fox News says.....
Exactly.
I do not EVER remember a repub leading in the polls. It is ALWAYS a dem leading by HUGE margins.
FOXNews and FOXBusiness is filled with ‘oversampled’ people.....especially when it is verified that some of those oversampled people are receiving mail-in voting forms for dead cats and dogs.
“That’s O.K. Let them keep oversampling Democrats.”
1. It could induce over-confidence in the Dems, leading many to stay home.
2. By the same token, it could demoralize Republicans, leading many to stay home.
3. Finally, given that we KNOW that the Dems are going to cheat this year on a scale never seen before, if the polls in the days leading up to the election show Biden leading, it significantly strengthens their (bogus) argument that either Trump has cheated or, alternatively, that we have to keep counting and counting and counting until enough manufactured ballots are made and miraculously “found.”
Polls are no longer about revealing opinions; now they are about manipulating opinions.
I write news and topical humor for a living. In 2016, I accurately predicted Trump’s win at a time when the MSM was touting Hillary as having such a huge poll lead that she might even win Arizona, where she was ahead by five points. I looked at the internals of that poll and found that they had oversampled the Democrats by 24 points more than their share of registered voters in the state. I figured if they had to spot her 24 points to get her to a five-point lead, she was toast, and she was indeed.
Fox News polls have a 100% wrong record on President Trump.
Not even worth wasting your time on.
What’s with FoxNews lately? These nonsensical polls plus their preoccupation with the Atlantic magazine fake story is troubling.
It is all about ratings. If they concede President Trump is ahead, nobody will watch their “news.”
Fox doesn’t poll. It pays companies to poll for it. Thus, when the article mentions Fox and doesn’t mention the polling orgnization, you can throw the results out.
How so, it has Tucker Carlson, Sean Hannity, Laura Ingraham in prime time, Jesse Watters, Judge Jeannine, and Greg Gutfeld on Saturdays, and Mark Levin and Steve Hilton on Sunday evenings. All very interesting shows, but Gutfeld should perhaps try out some new panelists.
But in 2017, Fox on the Sunday before the election predicted victory for Doug Jones in AL. Thanks again, Jeff Sessions for that.
Polls showed Nixon ahead of Humphrey in 1968 until they tightened considerably in the last week before the election.
