Because it is about infotainment, not the truth. Ukrainian news services are likely to be far more reliable sources in this whole affair than the overpaid clowns in the United States (or even Canada).
I don’t know how others behave, but I consider it my civic duty to lie to pollsters. Polls seem to now be used a kind of political weapon and propaganda. Moreover polls belong to the realm of social science, and there is so much corruption and fakery elsewhere in the social sciences, one can assume its the same in polling, or likely far worse given what’s at stake
Fox must really hate Trump to abandon a successful business model.
Fox has always been NeverTrump News.
Stirewalt and Baer, a match made in Hell.
I have been drifting away from Fox News for the past couple of years. There are days on end when I never tune in.
I have found that ONE AMERICA NEWS is much better on my blood pressure and they do not have that very annoying “ALERT” going off every 15 seconds or so.
Thanks for the details, but the numbers only matter when Trump’s support among the Republican base collapses (drops below 50%) - then Senate Republicans will start thinking about removing him (this also means that his overall approval will have to be 20% or less...long way to go). But as far as I know, Trump is still 90% plus with the base...so no danger.
In fact, one of the upsides of all this crap is that we no longer hear about ‘gun control’ or ‘immigration reform’ anymore - and those are the ONLY two issues that I know of where Trump could lose his support from the base. This crap has actually been a gift to Trump by drowning out those issues.
One other thing - there was an article that mentioned that the Democrats were actually making some small inroads into Trump’s base, based on Trump taking forever with the Wall, supporting increased work-visas, and talking gun control (and bump-stock, of course). Now that is all gone, as those weak-kneed Trump supporters are back with Trump due to this impeachment crap.
Solution: One American News
Seems like somebody at FOX worked hard on the numbers to bring the for-impeachment figure to the magic 51%, or the ‘majority’.
I’d bet that the majority of those polled, have no idea what it takes to impeach a president. There is nothing in the Ukraine call worth even mentioning impeachment. The media frenzy every day talking about impeachment is what’s misleading those who ‘think’ the president should be impeached.
There are very few true independents. My brother claims to be one but is to the left of Bernie.
Paul Ryan
Google search what he does now.
When I first began to read about the left wing swing at FOXNEWS here on FR, I thought, surely this could not be true, for I was not picking up on that in the shows I was watching there, which were a small percentage of shows aired. This article, however, has convinced me that it may be true that the new Management at FOX is determined to join the Orwellian crowd to try and satisfy what? We are all mortal, but the super wealthy seem not to comprehend that. Maybe that open border thing is not such a bad idea after all. Those of us who believe that unbelievable crimes are being committed in our highest government offices, that our Constitution is being debased and destroyed, that our values are being turned inside out and upside down and that Alinsky knew what he was doing when he dedicated his “Rules for Radicals” to Lucifer, would be better off with the folks coming into the country. Looks like Lucifer took Alinsky seriously and joined his team. Just so you know. I am done with FOXNEWS. Stopped watching Bret B. a long time ago. I just had a feeling he was not for us. Looks like I was right.
Polls are to steer public opinion, not measure it. But, it is funny how last week one poll showed Trump’s job approval at almost 51% then last night another poll says 51% want Trump removed from office. We’re being played.
Garbage polls from a garbage network.
I have been suspicious of the Fox Polls for quite awhile. Now my suspicions are confirmed.
Would the American people support an unconstitutional impeachment where the accuser is anonymous? Where republicans are not allowed to subpeona deep state actors and democrat traitors?
What the f is this piece of garbage poll!!
And to see Drudge parading it around. That dude is a disgusting fake news narrative bearer - truly growing as a disgraceful demoralized sodomitic.
People are bombarded by unwanted robo calls and sales calls from strangers. Most sane people when they receive those calls have been conditioned to just hang up. Think about it. If you received an unsolicited call from a stranger and were asked to share your political opinions, would you?
I’ve been wondering just how much these polls are spoofed beyond the percentage sampling based on party affiliation.
For this Fox poll, if I read it correctly, they sampled 40% Republican. My sister is a Kalifornia Republican and hates Trump. She’s been fed propaganda for decades and talks like a democrat but still claims to be a Republican and voted for Schwarzenegger.
My point is, if Fox and others identify areas where Republicans think like democrats, then they could get by with getting their opinions knowing full well most prefer impeachment.
Once you start thinking about it, there are probably countless ways to spoof approval or impeachment numbers.
These polls are just ways to create news and sway opinion. Nothing new here.
Polls pretend to measure peoples’ opinions. Instead, they are an imperfect summary of a few peoples’ emotional response to a question that they were not expecting.
Reluctantly, one suspects that the poll is essentially accurate due to the barrage of negative coverage that has been directed at Trump. The delays in the Horowitz report and the rumored indictments by Durham also hurt, as does the lack of a “war room” to combat negative coverage.
