Eighty-seven percent (87%) of Fox News viewers say they are likely to vote for John McCain, while those who watch CNN and MSNBC plan to support Barack Obama in November by more than two to one.
A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 65% of CNN voters plan to vote for the Democratic candidate versus 26% who intend to go for the Republican. Similarly, MSNBC watchers plan to vote for Obama over McCain 63% to 30%.

"Seventy percent (70%) of those who watch CBS Katie Couric every day plan to vote for Obama, as do 71% of the daily viewers of ABCs Charles Gibson and 67% of those watching NBCs Brian Williams."
And the media is not liberal. Ha!

I would have thought MSNBC was a lot higher % than that. Interesting.
Though I don’t get MSNBC, just judging from Matthews and Olbermann.

Gee, I sure am glad I’ve got Rasmussen around to tell me this stuff. I’d never have been able to figure any of this out by myself. I hear they’re doing a poll right now about rain being wet......

No, it’s not surprising. MOST Fox viewers will vote for McCain, and the same assumption is true when it came to MSNBC/CNN.
In other words, Rasmussen wasted their time with the poll.

In the 2004 election cycle, most Americans felt the three major television networks ABC, CBS and NBC and the two chief cable networks, Fox News and CNN, were all biased in their coverage to help the candidate of their choice Fox for President Bush, the other four for his Democratic challenger, Sen. John Kerry.I think I'll put this in my "No sh*t, Sherlock" file...wow.

Well, all those numbers are meaningless unless we also know how many viewers each channel has.
Am I the only one to see this?

The left watch only MSNBC. They think the other networks are right wing hacks.

"Seventy percent (70%) of those who watch CBS Katie Couric every day plan to vote for Obama, as do 71% of the daily viewers of ABCs Charles Gibson and 67% of those watching NBCs Brian Williams." Once upon a time that would have guaranteed an Obama victory. LOL
About 21 million watch network news per night now so figure that translates to about 15 million votes for Obama.
Rush gets about 20 million listeners per week and I suspect that 90 percent will vote for McCain for about 18 million votes.
