The Fox News Poll is conducted under the joint direction of Anderson Robbins Research (D) and Shaw & Company Research (R). The poll was conducted by telephone with live interviewers August 5-7, 2012, among a random national base sample of 930 registered voters, including additional interviews (an oversample) of 115 randomly selected Hispanics. Landline and cell phone telephone numbers were randomly selected for inclusion in the survey using a probability proportionate to size method, which means that phone numbers for each state are proportional to the number of voters in each state.

The additional interviews of Hispanic respondents were done to allow analysis of the subgroup, and are weighted so Hispanics are not over-represented in the overall national sample. The total 170 of Hispanics is made up of 55 interviews done as part of the base national sample and 115 oversample interviews from a list of Hispanic voters developed from previously conducted national random digit dial (RDD) surveys. Oversample interviews were conducted in both English and Spanish.

He was effectively saying....... don’t believe it

WASHINGTON, DC... AUGUST 10, 2012 ... Commenting this morning on the Obama campaign ad claiming that he killed the wife of a laid-off steel worker, Romney replied:

"Gee willikers, Beav! That sure is a mean ad!"

And that's pretty much the campaign.

It is registered, not likely voters, so the absolute numbers are almost certainly inaccurate.

However, it does show Obama improved from their last poll. I believe that is accurate.
