Question

I know I know, it's a Fox news poll, but it proves interesting food for thought regardless, if you don't take it seriously.

Answer 1

Tonight, the ABC-Gallup poll has 72% of Independents planning to vote any incumbent out. This seems to correlate with the Fox poll.

Answer 2

Actually that's the first FOX poll I've seen talking about that issue. Most other polls from other sources say about the same thing. The voting of Brown into the Senate should have been a wake up call, but instead the democrats buried their heads in the sand and continue to ignore the people.

Answer 3

ninety 5% of black voters voted for Obama. and that i won't be able to undergo in ideas the perfect time I heard that stat reported on Fox information. And my boyfriend keeps the television tuned to Fox quite a lot for all time. you have not presented a source for your declare that ninety seven% of Fox visitors are white yet shall we in basic terms bypass with that stat hypothetically. If 80% of the inhabitants is white and ninety seven% of Fox visitors are white, which skill 17 factors more desirable. yet in undemanding words 12% of the generaly inhabitants is black and ninety 5% voted for Obama, then which skill 80 3 factors more desirable. also, human beings often watch the documents that confirms there preconcieved notions. So those who nonetheless wholeheartedly supply Obama a powerful interest approval score are not likely to be gazing Fox. Blacks nonetheless supply Obama about a ninety% approval score so as which skill in undemanding words about 10% of blacks may be in all probability to observe Fox information. So the speed of whites gazing Fox may be larger no longer because whites flock to Fox yet that blacks flee from Fox. Your reasoning the following is illogical and rather serves for example the alternative aspect you declare to be attempting to make.

Answer 4

I think that if all Americans had exercised their right to vote, the incumbents would not have been incumbents to begin with. It is a trite saying, but true, that in a democracy people get the government that they deserve.

Answer 5

It's interesting but you have to take it with a grain of salt. Not because it is a Fox poll but because congressional elections are not national.... people tend to be very critical of the incumbents outside of their own districts but historically districts re-elect incumbents.

Answer 6

CNN is reporting that it is not going well for Democrats.



So my guess if CNN says they are not covered. The incumbents are in trouble come Nov.

Answer 7

u will always find bad news about the current administration on fox no matter what

Answer 8

If you're worried about the non-existent bias nature of FOX news, then I'll direct you to another poll done by CBS.

Submit your answers to the poll to see the current results. It says some 90% of people disagree with the current healthcare overhaul. Some 76% believe we should start over. 62% are less interested in seeing healthcare reform pass than they were a year ago. 80% believe that Obama has done a poor job of explaining healthcare reform. And 89% believe it will be worse in November for Democrats if healthcare reform passes with their current strategy.

Answer 9

Ever notice how the public opinion of congress in general is really low, but individual reps public opinion numbers are higher? People hate every incumbent except the ones they actually vote for.

Answer 10

I think when we put our faith in the network that sued to be able to lie with impunity we are in sad shape. Not impressed and not afraid just because these people are loud does not mean they are the majority or correct.

Answer 11

I'll be calling those that don't listen to the will of the people.We're the boss not Nancy or Obama.It's our seat's.

Resistance is not futile.

Answer 12

I think it's a poll that literally has no value. People want you to stop voting for that jerk from your district, but we like the guy we have. The elections prove it over and over.

Answer 13

You smug twit! Like a Fox News poll is somehow beneath you! EVERY independent source ranks Fox News the most fair and impartial news source out there. While they MAY have their agenda, they actually strive to be even handed, unlike MSN ... Olberman, Mathews, and Maddow? LOL!



CNN? It was called "Clinton News Channel" MANY years ago.



As for this poll, it's utterly ridiculous! The Republicans have just recently sprouted some backbone and have stood fast against EVERY Obama initiative for the past year. The Democrats call them the party of "no," but that's fine by me when it's NO they are saying to the secular progressive movement.



God bless America!

Answer 14

Excellent question. That is LITERALY impossible, In my district our congressional rep plans to vote for the HC reform bill and he has the full support of well over 50% of constituents. Our uncumbent rep is up for re-election and he is going to STAY, because most of my district supports him.

Answer 15

Why do they have a picture of Ted Stevens on there? He is not in Congress anymore.

Answer 16

i can only HOPE

Answer 17

That just means that 68% of conservatives will vote out all incumbents. Its meaningless to me.

Answer 18

That's your problem. You don't take it seriously, yet you still use it as "food for thought".



"The national telephone poll was conducted for Fox News by Opinion Dynamics Corp. among 900 registered voters from March 16 to March 17"



900 people is not a big enough sample to try to determine what 300 MILLION are thinking.

Answer 19

I never watch fox news, and I will trade you republican senators & congressmen from my districts for the democratic ones from yours all day.

Answer 20

it does not matter what it says it is an INFORMAL poll it means nothing

Answer 21

I don't





The FOX NEWS polls are not valid and next to the Rasmussen Reports are the most inaccurate polls on this planet.

Answer 22

that means the demos are toast !!!!!

Answer 23

Whatever.
