What is going on with Fox News polls? Why are they oversampling democrats? Have they gone liberal or are they producing disinformation to lull the Obama campaign into complacency and overconfidence? Any ideas?
The Fox News poll is based on live telephone interviews on landlines and cell phones from September 9 to September 11 among 1,056 randomly-chosen likely voters nationwide. “Likely voters are registered voters who are considered most likely to vote in the November presidential election. The poll is conducted under the joint direction of Anderson Robbins Research (D) and Shaw & Company Research (R). For the total sample, it has a margin of sampling error of plus or minus three percentage points”
A horse race boosts ratings.
If the media were to report how unpopular Obama really is they wouldn't make nearly the amount of money they do when they manipulate the numbers to be neck and neck.
