Fox’s Sunday host Chris Wallace is tired of hearing conservatives criticize recent polls that show Mitt Romney trailing President Obama; and he let radio host Mike Gallagher know that today with a fiery scolding.
Things initially got tense when Gallagher took issue with Wallace characterizing the Romney campaign as “in trouble.”
“Wait a minute,” Gallagher interrupted, “what do you mean ‘Romney’s in trouble’? Where’d you get that from? What, because of the poll manipulation crap?”
That set Wallace off.
“This criticism of the polls is craziness. I actually did some research on this today, which is more than you’ve done,” he snapped at Gallagher.
“No self-respecting pollster,” including Fox, he explained, weighs their polls to even out party identification. He agreed with Gallagher that there is a mainstream media bias towards supporting President Barack Obama and “antagonizing” Mitt Romney.
However, Wallace concluded, “the polls tell a story… Obama is winning. And Romney has got to win the debate.”

The nut never falls very far from the tree.
Chris is as nutty as his dad Mike. I suspect it might be a genetic defect.
They do that every week. They go after each other and trade insults. But they do have different opinions.
It’s going to be fun watching these LSM socialist media types during the night on November 6th.
I don’t understand why we are even going to bother with “debates”. Wallace and his comrades have already called the election for their “messiah”. Just think of the money we could save and Americans would be spared all of those annoying and obnoxious political ads.
I wonder why conservatives even watch that show.Faux news is pretty left these past few years.The Blaze from now on.
Wallace is a tool for trying in vain to defend Fox’s poll. It’s a biased poll because the sample is wrong. Get over it.
Where does Rasmussen, THE MOST RELIABLE POLLSTER, have the race? Oh, that’s right. He has it tied. I can’t believe Wallace is buying into polls conducted by ‘CBS’ (Communist BS). Fox is shoveling MSM crap. No surprise there.
Yeah ok Chris, Obama is “winning”....(stifled laughter).
Post-debate stories have already been written. Romney blew it big time. He’s out of touch, he lacked charisma, and he had multiple gaffes. Obama’s debate performance on Oct 3, on the other hand, was masterful and eloquent.
Romney can not win the debate . Obama can’t lose it .
We have reached the point where if Romney’s in trouble, our whole country is in trouble. I doubt ALL polls are being manipulated in favor of Obama. I notice no one around here complains too loudly when a poll comes out showing Romney ahead. Nevertheless, it’s hard to figure out which polls are the closest to reality. I keep hearing the Rasmussen poll was the best and seemed like last time I saw it Romney was ahead.
Yes indeed. We must stay on our knees and ask Gods forgiveness and have him to remove this cancer. Which is Obama and the Democrats who are now the U.S Marxist party.
Yup! That’s it. Barry doesn’t know anything about baseball but he hit a “home run”. It was a “game changer”.
And Carter beat Reagan too! /s
Or ... they have to get attention for ratings ... I think it's a centralized effort (just like the collusion at the Romney press conference) to demoralize certain voters to give President Carte ... whoops .. I mean, Obama a chance....
