Topic: FOX botches poll: Shows rise in Obama's approval...

No doubt heads  behind the scenes will roll at FOX News once the culprits are found who are responsible for releasing a poll where Obama shows a gain in approval ratings. His approval was up a full four points to 50% There are rumors that the president of FOX with be making an apology to its viewers later in the day.

Well, it ain't FUX, but it's still pretty funny.

Never a dull moment from the "God Hates Fags" guy (of protesting soldier's funerals fame) but at least Lady Gaga is pissing off the right people...

Did you see that Avatar piece about how it is a propaganda piece for the left?

No bother, you shan't watch it anyway because it will make you depressed after watching.

Not clear on what you mean. Seen the rant piped into other venues. It has been hit from the left too, as condescending and even racist. Cameron is just a shallow Hollywood guy. The story is cliches more than propaganda and Cameron happens to believe what he is saying. Give Hannity half the chance and he would re-do the "Triumph of the Will" with Tea Partiers and it would be propaganda. He does that every night. Whatever. It's just a damn movie with pretty colors in the end, not some deep philosophical epic.

Exactly.  Cameron just makes awesome sci-fi pop-corn flicks; nothing more, nothing less.

OMG!

A whole 50% approve of what he's doing? That's practically a popular decleration by the American people that Obama should be able to do whatever he wants without opposition!

/sarcasm


Polls are misguided. Especially when they show a 4% increase to a total of just 50% "approval"... and you're misguided if you think it means a damn.

Geez, calm down. I get it, you hate Obama, but what are you so upset about? You know this is very old to be commenting about it now. We've had this "polls don't mean anything" discussion before and is total political dogma that polls mean nothing. Politicians who say that are liars and know it. They spend thousands, millions on pollsters and polls for a reason, you know? Nobody spends millions of difficult to come-by campaign dollars on meaningless crap. You go ahead and keep buying the BS about meaningless polls if you want to, but I'm not much for BS myself.

I don't hate Obama. I am dissapointed I voted for him... but that's not what's got me upset. What's got me upset is that polls, put out by biased sources, reflect only what that source wants reflected. Even more upsetting is that you think this is a story. What's got me upset is I'm not allowed to disagree with Obama or Democrats unless, according to you, I harbor some kind of "hate" for them.

Considering most of those scientific polls, which are specific to a region or a particular voting bloc, have a margin of error near 3%... remind me again why this poll showing an increase of 4% is even worth mentioning?

Yes, they do, but that doesn't mean that most polls are put out by biased sources. Is this a biased source? Biased toward whom? It is put out by FOX. I posted it here because I thought it amusing that a FOX poll showed a rise in Obama's numbers from the last FOX poll. You not only have bought the political dogma that polls don't matter but you have no sense of humor either.

Don't be so melodramatic.

Because it was an increase over the last one. Never mind, you just go back and listen to your politicians that say polls don't matter. That is where that dogma comes from, you know, politicians, not anyone else.
