Fox News Battleground State Polls That Show Joe Biden Leads Oversample Democrats
Breitbart ^ | September 04 2020 | MICHAEL PATRICK LEAHY

Fox News polls released on Wednesday show Joe Biden gaining momentum in the key battleground states of Wisconsin, Arizona, and North Carolina, but those results appear to reflect significant oversampling of Democrats, particularly in Arizona and North Carolina.

In Arizona, for instance, the Fox News poll shows the former vice president with a nine point lead over the president among likely voters, 49 percent to 40 percent.

In Wisconsin the Fox News poll shows former Vice President Biden with an eight point lead over President Trump among likely voters, 50 percent to 42 percent.

I don’t recall any polls pointing to a Mondale victory in 1984. And they showed that GHWB pulled ahead of Dukakis by Labor Day, with the Al Gore-instigated revolving door video.

Most pollsters predicted Doug Jones would win.
Same as almost every pollster predicted Trump would lose in 2016, with Fox polls leading the pack in the wrong direction.
Fox has never been right on any polls on Trump.
In 2016, Fox had some of the worst polling and the worst analysis of who would win. They repeatedly claimed there was “no path to victory” for Trump.
They did the same thing in the primaries when they constantly pushed Marco Rubio and rubbished Trump's chances of winning.
The above refers to the news section of Fox News of course.
Hannity was rock solid for Trump.

Fox is going the way of Drudge. Roll left and die.

After watching the democrats spew their ANONYMOUS bs on Fox all day yesterday, I awoke this morning to Jedediah’s caffeine (or perhaps Adderall)-fueled bs of “ you can’t say 100% that he didn’t say it, especially after what he said about McCain” (she called it abysmal ), needing center stage, not allowing the cooler, calmer other 2 guys a chance to talk. I cannot stand her, never could. She is impossible to watch/ listen to. And as much as I love Pete, if they can’t reel her in or better yet, get rid of her, no more F&Friends Weekend for me.

I believe Paul Ryan is in charge of polling at Fox News. (It’s called sarcasm for the dullards out there.)

Polls are allowing for the massive fraud the pollsters know will take place unless Heaven intervenes.

Feedback must have gotten to Jed and Faux programmers as it’s now the new 9 am hour and the discussion is more centered allowing the 2 male hosts to counter her hysteria.

FOX polls were just as bad, if not worse, than CNN polls in 2016. I pay no attention to them.

Trump should cease giving interviews to ANYONE on FOX News. I kind of like Laura but she can be condescending even to Trump. He needs to give OAN the interviews or others and help them boost ratings.

I’m skeptical of using this “oversampling” argument because we used it repeatedly during the 2012 race...the polls ended up being right on the money for the most part, “oversampling” and all...although, it may have been a coincidence due to the effects of Hurricane Sandy on the closing days of the race.

They always over sample Dems.

Yes, I also noticed that she allowed the guys to speak and seemed less vile and less agitated. And Pete had 2 wonderful guests who denounced the anonymous story. However, next up on Cavuto came Jennifer Griffin, who insisted that her sources (also anonymous) are unimpeachable, and have heard Trump say, over and over, similar quotes such as the Vietnam vets were crazy to go, why die for your country, etc.. As if Vietnam vets had a choice...that’s why I don’t believe Griffin’s anonymous source’s bs either.

I agree about Laura. How many times she interrupted him the other night!

Yes, every patriotic America that supports President Trump should realize the Lying Democrat Media Machine and Hollyweirdos do nothing but attack our President with lies and twists 24/7 - day in - day out - for years now.

Now they've taken to burning our cities.
