He also again sort of restated the canard that the "polls are about right," ie. that this is a "toss up." No! A "toss up " is when one guy leads in half the polls and the other guy in the other half, not when one guy has led in virtually ALL the polls for the entire campaign, with a rare single-day exception.
Man, I wish we could simply outlaw polling. So many people put so much credence in polls, and in the end, many of them are worthless. I'm hoping tomorrow isn't simply a big defeat for Kerry, but also for the MSM, and their polling operations.
Yes that makes sense. Only the Republicians would be home to answer the phone. All the democrats where out tring to get free candy.
A question - What is the status of Colorado?
Gary Hart said it's in play, and Cheney there today proves it. What's happening there?
I think he was smoking crack.
Yeah, I saw that too. I don't know what to think right now, other than my a** is getting to the polls tomorrow and I am bringing as many people as possible with me.
Good report and I think this poll is the one that has all of the Freepers scared. If FOX would have had Bush up then there would be a party in the streets. I am glad Brit cleared it up.
I put on my tin foil hat after this poll came out and thought that FOX was throwing an olive branch to the Kerry campaign after Cavuto's made the Kerry campaign mad and they decided to boycott FOX.
I think seeing this poll is good for the Republicans. We don't stop until this election is over.
I predict (and I know everyone has a prediction) the Presidential election will be decided early in the night and Bush will win decisively.
Fox News/Opinion Dynamics were HORRIBLE in State Polling in 2000.. They were one of the worst.
Fox showed Wyoming as being "save for Kerry." Where in the world did they get that?
The guy didn't know what he was talking about. Quinnipiac University Poll with Bush leads Kerry 51-43 percent in Florida with MOE of 3 is statistically significant. Bush's lead of 8 points exceeds 2x MOE. So we can be sure with 95% probability that Bush has a real lead.
If this new analyst/professor couldn't even address this, he stinks.
Does this guy realize how much damage he did to the psyche of W. supporters?? I'm sure he has no idea how many people, strong Fox supporters, actually went wobbly for the first time after reading that poll. DGIH, if you don't know what you're doing, DON'T DO IT.
Eh? If that's the case then there is really no difference between a poll and a pile of dead possums.
And the end of the day (tomorrow) the story of the 2004 election will be how, once again, the pollsters were off or just plain wrong.
Didn't this FOX poll have Kerry leading among men by 2 points?
You can stop right there. Doesn't pass the smell test.
That makes absolutely NO friggin sense!!!
Roger Ailes.........calling Roger Ailes!!!
(In my best Red Foreman voice)
And if you aren't a dumbass, you tell your bosses that only 1 of every 10 calls are being picked up and ask what you should do. You don't pass it off as real.
The folks got a good demonstration of why all these polls are totally useless, good or bad. When the entire Fox News panel says the polls are all bunk, that says something important. And....that important thing is to make certain we get every GW Bush voter to the polls tomorrow. I am telling you people that this election tomorrow is the most important one you will ever take part in. The future of country is at stake. GET OUT THAT VOTE FOR GW BUSH. YOUR LIVES AND FREDOM IS ON THE LINE! HONESTLY, FORGET ABOUT YOUR JOBS, YOUR SCHOOLS, YOUR DAILY ACTIVITIES, ETC. TOMORROW IS A DAY THAT YOU SHOULD DEVOTE PURELY TO YOUR BLESSED COUNTRY!!! ELECT GW BUSH!!!

This is obviously Bush's fault, for putting Halloween right before the election.
