FOX News came out with its poll results again this Sunday. This poll consistently is skewed towards the Democrats. Today we explain why this is and offer estimates when eliminating this polling bias. (Hint – Trump is way ahead!)
FOX News came out this morning with the results of its poll where they again show former Obama Vice President Biden ahead of President Trump in the polls – 51%-46%. This is in spite of no excitement for candidate Biden who is taking questions using a teleprompter and can’t seem to get out of his basement.

Yeah it’s like a choice between John Wayne and Mr. Magoo.
Their polling certainly has shown a remarkable sampling bias and their News is not what it was. Fox Business, on the other hand, with Maria Bartiromo, Stuart Varney, and Lou Dobbs is still excellent.
Don’t worry, the Murdoch boys will eff that up too. Daddy Murdoch left them way too much money.
An Indian walks into a cafe with a shotgun in one hand and pulling a male buffalo with the other.
He says to the waiter:
“Want coffee.”
The waiter says, “Sure Chief. Coming right up.”
He gets the Indian a tall mug of coffee.....
The Indian drinks the coffee down in one gulp, turns and blasts the buffalo with the shotgun, causing parts of the animal to splatter everywhere and then just walks out.
The next morning the Indian returns.
He has his shotgun in one hand, pulling
Another male buffalo with the other.
He walks up to the counter and says to the waiter:
“Want coffee.”
The waiter says, “Whoa, Tonto!
We’re still cleaning up your mess from yesterday.
What was all that about, anyway?”
The Indian smiles and proudly says,
“Training for position in United States Congress:
Come in, drink coffee, shoot the bull, leave mess for others to clean up, Disappear for rest of day.”
NOVEMBER 2020 -— VOTE WISELY!
The Indian must have missed something, cause he left without pockets full of money.
You have to pick and choose with them. I liked when Trump blasted Donna Brazile on the Hannity Show, and Hannity shrugged and said, “Not your favorite, huh?”
Fox’s event channel can be very good. And the Hannity Show suspended all commercial breaks to interview the president.
I give them hell, but that was pretty good. And their polling is indeed genuinely bad.
FOX polls in 2016 were just as bad, if not worse than CNN polls. I don’t pay any attention to them.
There is definitely something being missed by all these polls. Take a look at the thousands and even tens of thousands who show up for every Trump rally, the boat rallies, the truck convoys, and motorcycle parades. When have we seen any candidate have that much grassroots support in just about every state, including California, Oregon, NY, NJ, etc.? Take a look at the long list of pro-Trump events, door knocking, phone banking that is going on across the country, it’s really amazing.
“Another puzzling result from the FOX News poll is their results showing only 5% of the Black vote supporting President Trump. Rasmussen with a much better track record shows President Trump currently bringing in 30% of the Black vote and 44% of the other non-white vote.”
This is a consistent conflation of “approval” with “votes”. Blacks might “approve” of Trump, but many of these “approvers” will vote for Biden. While Trump will likely garner a greater black vote (perhaps 12-20%) than historically goes to the GOP candidate, it really is unlikely Trump will garner 30% of the black voters.
There were polls that were wrong in 2016 and polls that were wrong in 2008 and 2012. Polls are wrong again.
Fox News polls are as accurate as one of those $2 Rolex watches.
There is NOTHING new in what GP reports here. This has been known by anyone paying attention for quite some time. All of these MSM polls skew heavily for dems by seriously oversampling dems. You’d have to live in a cave for decades not to be aware of this.
I heard the poll was D+3 and thought, at least they fixed the weighing of the poll. Didn’t realize they’ve got %5 independent which makes the poll pretty useless unless you assume they’ll split that vote 50/50
probably right but a counter argument is Trump is actually making a very strong play for black voters. He has targeted a lot of his campaign and rhetoric towards the black vote. Usually it’s just conceded so let’s see and be hopeful.
Sadly, the middle of the country doesn’t check the details of how polls are manufactured. They only look at the headlines.
The comments under articles on Fox’s site are overrun with nasty liberal trolls, probably the same ones taking the useless polls.
FIX News polls always stink.
According to the headlines there should be dead bodies lining the streets due to the virus.
At some points folks have to start believing their lying eyes.
That point in time will be far too late.
it’s not how many votes are legally cast but who counts the votes including tens of millions of unsolicited ballots gathered up and counted by Trump haters
