    Are they the same ones that believe in ghosts?
    Just wondering.


  2. afterthought says:

    A fox-news poll?
    That makes sense since most fox
    watchers have to believe in fantasy
    to get through the news.

    And they Prolly think Osama is there Also, or THAT Bush Cares WHERE Osama AKA ‘TIM OSMAN’ is.

    Anyway Hey Wwallace.

    Fitzgerald is also the Special Prosecutor in the CIA leak case involving Valerie Plame. She has been a deep cover CIA operative supervising upwards of one hundred CIA penetration agents which were inside hostile countries. As a reprisal against her husband, former U.S. Ambassador Joseph C. Wilson, criticizing George W. Bush; that Bush leaked data to traveling whorehouse operative Jeff Gannon alias Johnny Gosch, to blow Valerie’s cover, a federal criminal offense.

    The United States Of America: 19% mental.


  7. big johnny says:

    Look on the bright side… what this means is that the memory hole technique is only twenty percent effective in the case of this major issue. As I’ve said before, anybody who remembers or sees again the Rumsfeld “briefing” right when the war started where he was asked, “where are the weapons” and he replied, “we know where they are, to the north and south and west and east of baghdad” simply knows now beyond all doubt that that sorry f*cker was lying through his teeth.

    can’t make too much of polls….to me there are too many of them and the questions don’t reflect the seriousness of the War

    Polling numbers reflecting public response to the Republican “pushback” are starting to emerge, and it’s good news for the President.
    According to Rassmussen, Bush’s tracking numbers show he has picked up about five points over the last two weeks and is sustaining the gain. Even more interesting is this report released today on whether or not Americans believe that we are winning the War on Terror. A month ago, only 39% said yes. Today, that number is 48%. From the internals, the gains have been broad-based as confidence rose 10% among Republicans and 11% among Democrats. In terms of Iraq, Scott reports the following numbers:

    Thirty-eight percent (38%) give the President good or excellent ratings for handling the situation in Iraq. While still a low rating, it’s up from 33% a month ago.

    Thirty-eight percent (38%) now say things will get better in Iraq over the next six months. That’s up from 32% a month ago and 30% the month before. Forty-one percent (41%) expect things to get worse, down from 45% the month before.

    At the beginning of 2005, just 28% of Americans thought the situation in Iraq would get better over the next six month. A Rasmussen Reports survey at the time found that 50% of Americans expected things to get worse.

    Forty percent (40%) of Americans believe that, in the long run, the U.S. mission in Iraq will be viewed as a success. Forty-five percent (45%) believe it will be viewed as a failure. Those figures also show increased optimism compared to last month.


  9. Joe Sixpack says:

    What? You gotta be shittin me!

    Correct me if I’m wrong, but that must be the same 19% who still approve of Cheney.


  10. Joe Sixpack says:

    Hey richb. You better go get some coffee before you head out for Church, pal.

    Correct me if I’m wrong, but you cherry picking a poll is like Bushco cherry picking a report on WMD’s. Besides like Rassmussen seldom has it right. Try PollingRreport.com for some accurate polls.

    In looking at them, aren’t the other polls on Bush and the Repugnicans absolutely DREADFUL? Heh heh. I mean, if I was a liberal instead of a conservative, I’d be laughing my ass off at guys like us!


  11. miles says:

    Isn’t Cheney’s approval rating at or around 19%? We now know that 19% of Americans are incorrigibile, happily self-deluded iditos.


  12. Zwack says:

    Bob Harris has previously pointed to this effect…

    Here is a good collection of links including the fact that 21% of respondents will admit to being unfaithful to a complete stranger…

    A more complete study of what 20-30% of americans will believe was written by Bob Harris for This Modern World.

    Z.


  13. David B says:

    This is the same 20% that believe in Santa, Easter bunny, great pumpkin, flat earth, et.al.


  14. John says:

    I’m surprised the freepers haven’t put a bot on the poll yet like they did with the poll on Murtha’s website.


  15. ElectricBassPlayer says:

    I can think of 3 things wrong with he phrase, “Fox News Poll.”


  16. freedom is not free says:

    Just a New Way of making you believe in purple dotted elephants


  17. ElectricBassPlayer says:

    PS: Testing. . .

    moderators feel free to deep-six if it’s inappropriate. . .

  18. freedom is not free says:

    poll this Fox news.
    How many really belive Fox News?


  19. afterthought says:

    #18,

    It seems the test failed.
    Not that I know what’s wrong.


  20. Shardik says:

    This doesn’t surprise me. My 86 year mother-in-law, (a typical Fox Viewer), still believes that it was Saddam who was behind 9/11. What a hellava brain washing this administration along with the radical right wing media has accomplished.

    I am really concerned that the Bush crininals have created a Manchurian Candidate, (the original movie), mentality within a segment of our society.


  21. SpudgeBoy says:

    Yes, but 4 out of 5 people that watch Fox News are republican zombies.


  22. Bandar Bush says:

    These are the same people that think Adam and Eve rode dinosaurs to church.


  23. SpudgeBoy says:

    #18

    Do it like this:

    null


  24. John the Elder says:

    These 19%ers, are probably all those who watch Faux News as if it were “Gospel.” I know some intelligent people who have been totally taken in by their lies and are incapable of recognizing that they are being duped. Oh how sad!


  25. IraqVet says:

    I’m still mystified by 19%??? Dayum, some people are DENSE!

    Where do they think they are going to find the cache of weapons?

    I would love to hear their explanations on that one?


  26. Marie says:

    If we counted up all the mentally defective, the illiterate, the under-developed, the criminally insane, and the miscellaneous social misfits I bet the total would come to about 19%.


  27. Marie says:

    There was a story recently about the Bushies trying to “plant” WMD in Iraq in 2003, but their plan was destroyed when Brewster-Jennings uncovered the shipment. That adds a little more emphasis to their obsession with ruining Joe Wilson and Valerie Plame and her front company.


  28. The Liberal Avenger » Blog Archive » Fox News Poll says:

    [...] via Think Progress: In addition, some Americans think there are still weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. A 42 percent plurality thinks Iraq had weapons before the war and moved or destroyed them, while 28 percent think there were no WMD at all. Almost one in five (19 percent) think there are still WMD in Iraq. [...]


  29. Charles Stanton says:

    Could it be thay are confused the White Phosphorus is a WMD?


  30. WaltTheMan says:

    #26 – IraqiVet,

    That’s easy – Saddam cached them in the middle of the Milky Way. When he gets out, he wil retreive them. Prove me wrong.


  31. WaltTheMan says:

    #31 – me – There’s a black hold there.


  32. Pablo in Mexico says:

    The Manchurian Candidate is Senator John McCain. No doubt about it.


  33. Jafari says:

    I bleev there are WMDs in Iraq, because it seems that white phosphorus was used as a WMD by US against Fallujah.


  34. ThomNYC says:

    There probably are WMD’s in Iraq now – as a result of our invasion and mismanagement of the occupation.


  35. Zwack says:

    7% think Elvis is possibly still alive
    10% would eat a rat or an insect on a “reality” TV show
    12% think the United States should have a British-style royal family
    20% believe that the killing of civilians in Vietnam was “relatively rare”
    28% disapprove of labor unions on principle
    28% say the government should have the right to control news reports
    30% say the Bible is the “actual word of God” to be taken literally
    34% think Rock and Roll has had an overall negative impact on America
    45% characterized Watergate was “just politics”
    65% couldn’t describe the basic facts about Watergate

    From PollingReport.com, via Bob Harris.

    Some people will believe almost anything.

    Z.


  36. David says:

    20% believe that the killing of civilians in Vietnam was “relatively rare”

    Somewhat like the Japanese refusal to admit any wrongdoing wrt the invasion and occupation of China, many Americans refuse to admit any wrongdoing on the part of our government or the military.

    28% disapprove of labor unions on principle

    I believe they call them Republicans. Others call them worse…

    28% say the government should have the right to control news reports
    30% say the Bible is the “actual word of God” to be taken literally

    Chilling…


  37. jim says:

    19% is LOW. That’s a good thing.


  38. Fox News says:

    Dave…

    Interesting topic… I’m working in this industry myself and I don’t agree about this in 100%, but I added your page to my bookmarks and hope to see more interesting articles in the future…

    I didn’t agree with you first, but last paragraph makes sense for me

    ephedrine

    ephedrine abuse

    World Map Map Of Africa Australia…
