Fox Poll taken Wedneday & Thursday

[MoonMullins]

Does not include Friday polling per report, so is not a reaction to OBL tape.

[IMRight]

On TV it listed 28th and 29th. And didn't they say half had seen the OBL video? That wasn't out until yesterday.

Before the Pentagon blew the doors off al Qaqaa-gate.

It's a different ballgame now.

I couldn't find this on their website, could you provide a url? Thanks

[hershey]

That makes sense.

[pgkdan]

I printed the pdf and it says..."Polling was conducted by telephone October 27-28 in the evening."

[pissant]

Good, so triple that 5 point lead to fifteen and you'll be more accurate. Cheers

[Iam1ru1-2]

Please disregard the "<" in front of Bush's numbers.

This is weird. both of these links below say they were done on 27th and 28th, but with different results!!

could all of you check to see that I am right!

[MoonMullins]

Sorry, here's the link:

There appears to be some discrepancy on the timing. The website says the polling was done 10/27 - 10/28, but evidently FoxNews says it was done 10/28 - 10/29.

>>On TV it listed 28th and 29th<<

Yes, but then she said the poll was taken over the last 24 hours. I have no idea which is correct.

[picturefan]

The dates at the top of the PDF file are incorrect. The latest Fox poll was conduced on Thursday and Friday. See the poll results area from the correct dates.

Bush was up 5 yesterday. How did this happen? Is Fox doing a daily poll now? Also, when you go to realclearpolitics.com, they have dropped the Fox poll when Bush was up by 5 and replaced it with this new one. Now his overall average is back to 2%.

[xkaydet65]

That makes two separate polls taken at the same time by the same pollster.Somehing must be done with this polling nonsense.They've gone from being a sampler of public opinion to a driver of public opinion. It's one thing where a 1000 people can be believed as telling you what the nation is thinking at a particular moment. Now with the polls being driven by news orgs, they've become 1000 people telling you what you're expected to be thinking.

Are you sure you guys arent just getting confused because they give both Likely Voter and Registered Voter numbers?

[tobyhill]

It's very interesting how Kerry claims he is dong better because of the yuts having cell phones only and can't be called but he forgets smart people, mostly Republicans, have caller ID and don't answer anonymous or not listed calls.

[Darkwolf377]

Thank you. I can't recall if Fox previously released polls the day after the calls are made or two days after.

Also, when you go to realclearpolitics.com, they have dropped the Fox poll when Bush was up by 5 and replaced it with this new one. Now his overall average is back to 2%."

I just went there--3:25 PM on the east coast:

3-way race w/Nader included: Bush +2.8

2-way race Bush/Kerry: Bush +2.9
