Great moments in Fox News polls.

Great moments in Fox News polls.
Questions from the Fox poll released today:
Do you happen to know which presidential candidate has been in the news recently for paying four hundred dollars for a haircut?
If Hillary Clinton were elected president, do you think Bill Clinton is likely to personally behave in ways that will get him into trouble, or do you think he will avoid those situations?
Incidentally, President Bush’s approval rating is 34 percent.

Well, do YOU think Bill Clinton would behave or not?
June 7th, 2007 at 6:09 pmTo comment on a totally irrelevant Fock Snooze poll is tantamount to insanity!
June 7th, 2007 at 6:11 pmWhy not have questions like “Do you think President Bush will go back to drinking or cocaine after his term is up?”
Or how about “Will Cheney target other body parts, or just concentrate on shooting his friends in the face?”
This could be fun. Thanks for the idea Faux.
June 7th, 2007 at 6:11 pmLet’s leave commentary on an idiotic station like Fox News to the trolls and idiots (oops….that was redundant, wasn’t it?).
June 7th, 2007 at 6:12 pmFox: Stupid is as stupid does.
June 7th, 2007 at 6:12 pmwhy the hell does anyone care about what faux news says the repugs dont have a chance of takein the white house in 08 and they know it so the more crap they can sling at the dems the more they think its gonna help the rethugs it aint gonna work besides who ever actaully watches them and takes them seriously wont vote dem anyway
June 7th, 2007 at 6:13 pmHilary knows well enough to keep the porkers away from her hubby. Not that she’d care.
June 7th, 2007 at 6:13 pmOK FOX now ask who does Mitt Romney’s hair? > he seems to have it coiffed daily, so probably costs alot for each month.
June 7th, 2007 at 6:16 pmComment by hellinabucket
Fantastic.
June 7th, 2007 at 6:17 pmMy answers: a) what do you mean, “go back to”?
b) what do you mean, “his friends”?
Hahahaha. Paris Hilton, presidential debates, polls…it´s all gossip and circus.
June 7th, 2007 at 6:21 pmGood post, Wilco.
June 7th, 2007 at 6:21 pmLet’s add;
Who do you think is more newsworthy; Paris Hilton, or Nicole Richey?
How old is the Earth; 6,000 years, 5 billion years, or whatever Pat Robinson says?
June 7th, 2007 at 6:23 pmNah, FoKKKs wouldn’t ask ‘leading’ questions, would they?
June 7th, 2007 at 6:26 pmWill Rudy behave if elected into office or will he continue his adulterous ways? And will he where a Versaci or Armani dress for his inaguration?
June 7th, 2007 at 6:27 pmIf president Bush were asked to find his ass, could he do it with two hands or just one?
June 7th, 2007 at 6:27 pm“Incidentally, President Bush’s approval rating is 34 percent.”
What, that’s like a 5 or 6 percentage increase, right?
Not bad, Bushy boy, not bad at all.
Win the poor fools over again with your charm!!!!
June 7th, 2007 at 6:32 pm“If Dick Chainee could do it all over again, would he still fire just one barrel, or both?”
June 7th, 2007 at 6:33 pmDo you happen to know which presidential candidate(s) want to torture the crap outa every suspicious character they spy?
If Rudy wins the White House, should he be able to have all his ex-wives (and cousins) and his disaffected children stay in the White House at the same time? Will he remember which wife he is currently married to?
Jeez-Faux is so transparently partisan. So, so bad.
June 7th, 2007 at 6:34 pmJuan, thanks, but you don’t even need to say it. All my posts are incredible.

June 7th, 2007 at 6:40 pmBut enough about me; what does everyone think of that Wilco guy?
June 7th, 2007 at 6:40 pmIs he a great guy or the greatest guy?
Well, do YOU think Bill Clinton would behave or not?
Comment by Jake — June 7, 2007 @ 6:09 pm
Why, are you looking to s*ck his c*ck like Monica did? Closet case.
June 7th, 2007 at 6:41 pmHeh. Heh. Heh. Heh. Heh. Heh.
Presidentin’ Mr. P!!!! Hoody!!
June 7th, 2007 at 6:43 pma) Do you think Guiliani will wear a Sequined gown to his inauguration?
June 7th, 2007 at 6:43 pmb) Do you think Thompson will be able to tell the difference from his fantasy country where “torturing-works”, and the real one he wants to govern?
c) Do you think McCain will flip-flop or simply blow his gaskets again to ensure he won’t get nominated?
Hey, I’ve always wondered what Monica’s approval rating would be to this day….
June 7th, 2007 at 6:43 pmDo you happen to know which presidential candidate(s) want to torture the crap outa every suspicious character they spy?
I do! All the Republicans except McCain! And maybe Ron Paul.

Oh my Wilco…
These 6,000 year old Earth people still listen to what Jerry Falwell says :D
June 7th, 2007 at 6:45 pmQuestion is, will Wilco’s new album go platinum?

Hey, we created you, our great lord and savior Wilco. :D
June 7th, 2007 at 6:47 pma) Do you think Guiliani will wear a Sequined gown to his inauguration?
Comment by ValiantVenusGrewFromUranus — June 7, 2007 @ 6:43 pm
Hilarious visual!
I’d vote for him just to see that (not really).
He’s their front runner. Can you believe it? And that earlypolls in Pennsylvannia show that he would beat any of teh Democratic nominees except Gore. Gore, who isn’t even running is the only Dem who Pennsylvania would select over Guiliani. What the f*ck is wrong with people?
June 7th, 2007 at 6:48 pmwhen your focus group is the dumbest segment of the population why even bother to ask a question? it isn’t like faux viewers understand much more than your basic sit, stay, and beg commands.
June 7th, 2007 at 6:48 pmIsn’t Congress’ approval rating below Bush’s?
June 7th, 2007 at 6:49 pmWell, do YOU think Bill Clinton would behave or not?

Does a first lady get a paycheck?
June 7th, 2007 at 6:49 pmHey, we created you, our great lord and savior Wilco. :D
Comment by Zooey — June 7, 2007 @ 6:47 pm
Oh. I though he created himself and we were just humoring him because we didn’t want to hurt his frail male ego? Ooops…
:D
June 7th, 2007 at 6:51 pmYikes– no. No it will not. I know it debuted at #4 but I’m sure it will drop off the top 20 immediately.
June 7th, 2007 at 6:51 pmUn, I was on Andrew Sullivan’s site earlier today and he had a short blurb from Christopher Hitchens re: Jerry Falwell
Something to the effect of, If you gave him an enema you could bury him in a matchbox.
June 7th, 2007 at 6:52 pm“Do you think Rudy Giuliani will appoint mob-connected judges and cabinet secretaries?”
“Do you think Mitt Romney would reverse his positions on many issues within a year or two of taking office?”
“Do you recall that in 2000 Republican voters found John McCain less qualified to be president than George W. Bush?”
“Medical studies show that most men diagnosed with indolent lymphoma in 2003 will be seriously ill or dead by 2012. Do you think this will be true of Fred Thompson?”
June 7th, 2007 at 6:52 pmIsn’t Congress’ approval rating below Bush’s?
Comment by Seth
Yes but you’ll be hard pressed to find too many congressmen or women with lower approval ratings.
People hate Congress but love their respective congressmen.
June 7th, 2007 at 6:54 pmHere is a good Think Progress poll everyone would love to see:
1. Do you think 9/11 was a staged incident for Bush to garner power and control via the Patriot Act?
2. Do you think the extreme voices coming from this leftist website have any influence whatsoever to even our liberal politicians?
3. Do you think most liberals resort to name calling when they lack historical support or facts for their arguments? (Just watch the responses to this as proof)
4. Do you really think the human race has any control to influence global warming? Do you think these same policies can change the global warming on Mars and Jupiter?
5. Do you think, as most historians agree, that there hasn’t been a decent Democrat President since JFK?
Now that would be an interesting poll…..
June 7th, 2007 at 6:55 pmFolks, think about this ………. if Rupert gets his way, he will be able to remake the Wall Street Journal and the Dow Jones Index to look just like Faux NoNooz!!!! Maybe Hanniteehee or Gibson will be the new Business editor of the WSJ, even.
Let that roll around in your brain for a while…. scary, isn’t it???

That group of forthright British Atheists crack me up. Kinda like a 21st century band of Monty Python :D
June 7th, 2007 at 6:56 pmBut the best Python turned out to be an American
June 7th, 2007 at 6:59 pmOh goody – I love polls:
1. Do you think 9/11 was a staged incident for Bush to garner power and control via the Patriot Act?
Nope. He’s too stupid to ever pull of such a feat.
2. Do you think the extreme voices coming from this leftist website have any influence whatsoever to even our liberal politicians?
If by extreme you mean anyone left of your extreme views, well, yes. Unfortunately not as much as the Corporations that own them.
3. Do you think most liberals resort to name calling when they lack historical support or facts for their arguments? (Just watch the responses to this as proof)
Nope. We usually don’t consider you whack-a-troll material until you’ve lobbed the first insult.
4. Do you really think the human race has any control to influence global warming? Do you think these same policies can change the global warming on Mars and Jupiter?
Well, Einstein, Mars and Jupiter don’t have Global Warming. Both planets have surface temperatures in the freezing ranges. It’s Venus that has what is known as a Greehouse Effect. It’s a result of too much CO2 being released into their atmosphere (through volcanic activity in tehir case, but burning fossil fuels in ours).
If you knew anything about Science, you’d see that the facts support human induced Global Warming (exacerbating a natural cycle BEYOND it’s normal range). If we caused it, we can probably stop it. There’s one way to find out…
5. Do you think, as most historians agree, that there hasn’t been a decent Democrat President since JFK?
More like since FDR, maybe even as far back as Jefferson…
Now that would be an interesting poll…..

Michael Newdow?
I had a conversation with him recently. He’s not just talking – he’s doing. If anyone here wants to join in his fight, let me know.
June 7th, 2007 at 7:06 pmHey, I’ve always wondered what Monica’s approval rating would be to this day…. Comment by CompTROLLER V-1 — June 7, 2007 @ 6:43 pm
So we’re giving approval ratings to “non-politicians” now? Because if that’s the case, your approval rating has been “Cheney’d” by your own st*pidity – oh purveyor of second rate sh*t.
June 7th, 2007 at 7:07 pmMichael Newdow?
I have no idea who that is.
June 7th, 2007 at 7:11 pmI was referring to Terry Gilliam. He’s made some incredible films.
1. Do you think 9/11 was a staged incident for Bush to garner power and control via the Patriot Act? Comment by Eric — June 7, 2007 @ 6:55 pm
Well this question is a bit *constrained* by your hatred of liberals, Oh, Sheeple of the herd wingnuttery.
a) Would NeoCons stage an event to garner support? Just ask the poor Mizz private in Iraq’s *staged* recovery…
b) Do we *know* who did what? Nope, Republicans have ensured we *know* very little.
c) Do we have a *right* and *obligation* to distrust a group of people that say “trust-us” while asking for the right to spy on us without constraints? BAHAHA, sure Nazi boy…
2. Do you think the extreme voices coming from this leftist website have any influence whatsoever to even our liberal politicians? Comment by Eric — June 7, 2007 @ 6:55 pm
This website has “extreme left voices” in your twisted world? What a paranoid st*pid little f*cker you are.
3. Do you think most liberals resort to name calling when they lack historical support or facts for their arguments? (Just watch the responses to this as proof) Comment by Eric — June 7, 2007 @ 6:55 pm
Says the st*pid hypocritical f*cker that just called people here “extremist liberals”.
4. Do you really think the human race has any control to influence global warming? Do you think these same policies can change the global warming on Mars and Jupiter? Comment by Eric — June 7, 2007 @ 6:55 pm
Ignoring *science*, the wingnut displays his *grasp* of talking points by referring to planets with *elliptical* orbits, and un-scientific sh*t that’s been debunked ages ago – meanwhile avoiding an *entire-international-consensus* on global warming.
5. Do you think, as most historians agree, that there hasn’t been a decent Democrat President since JFK? Comment by Eric — June 7, 2007 @ 6:55 pm
BAHAHAA, *most* historians? BAHAHA, as usual, the wingnut simply *fabricates* an opinion, while stating it as *fact*. Do you believe there’s been an *intelligent* Republican since Eisenhower Eric, because most Historians agree that there hasn’t been!
Now that would be an interesting poll…..
Comment by Eric — June 7, 2007 @ 6:55 pm
No, the interesting poll would be.
Do you believe that Republicans are so divorced from reality that they should get their *sses whipped in 2006, to be followed by a royal thrashing in 2008? Oh wait, that poll has ALREADY BEEN TAKEN, and the results were a RESOUNDING YES!
St*pid f*cker.
June 7th, 2007 at 7:13 pmOK, I wiki’d him. He’s *that* guy.
June 7th, 2007 at 7:14 pmI’m pretty sure he wasn’t a part of the Flying Circus

June 7th, 2007 at 7:21 pmAnd they lament over why the Dems refuse to acknowledge that they are a real news organization.
Just more proof…as if any needs to be exhibited. Twist Fox…you’re cutting off your own air supply (thank god!!!) O’Reilly’s numbers continue to go down while Olbermann’s continue to go up. A little honesty (vs. hyberbole) goes a long way these days.
June 7th, 2007 at 7:24 pmJust me or does anyone still think a Foxnews debate would be ‘fair and balanced’ or would attempt to smear the candidates of most threat to Roger Ailes Organ Grinders….
June 7th, 2007 at 7:27 pmgreat questions! i bet a fox-sponsored debate would be even better!

June 7th, 2007 at 7:55 pm“Do you think Bill Clinton is likely to personally behave in ways that will get him into trouble, or do you think he will avoid those situations?”
Hell of a way to talk about the most popular President of the 20th century (in a tie with FDR). Wingers have no idea what creeps they are.
June 7th, 2007 at 8:00 pmBush’s approval rating is low, but Congress’s approval rating is about the same as his.
June 7th, 2007 at 8:04 pmFox just raised the bar.
/Sarcasm = off
June 7th, 2007 at 8:04 pmJust when you thought that Faux Noise couldn’t get any sillier, they have to go and prove you wrong. That is a joke of a station and I hope to see it die one day.
June 7th, 2007 at 8:18 pmWell, do YOU think Bill Clinton would behave or not?
Comment by Jake — June 7, 2007 @ 6:09 pm
Not only do I not know, I don’t care. The only people who should be concerned about where Bill Clinton’s cock is are: Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinon, anyone Bill Clinton is having extramarital relations with. Noone else. Many famous presidents have had their mistresses living with them in the White House, but people had the common decency to leave the matter to the couple.
Pathetic.
June 7th, 2007 at 9:48 pmThanks Moderation! A voice of reason…
June 7th, 2007 at 10:57 pminane, stupid, insipid, doltish, petty, idiotic, immature, panty sniffers
June 7th, 2007 at 11:10 pmBush’s approval rating is low, but Congress’s approval rating is about the same as his.
Comment by Alejandro
Because our government has decided that money is more important than the salus populi.
I spose that all Empires crash this way. Teh moral decay coming from the center. Sure they make a big ruckus about it being the moral decay of the public, but thats just a ruse.
June 7th, 2007 at 11:26 pmDecay, as with the greeks, comes form within government, and not without, Yet leave it to the power hungry types to ignore history and repeat it. (they think they are more clever than the decay before them – but never are)
Well, do YOU think Bill Clinton would behave or not?
Comment by Jake
You are so f-ing lame.
June 7th, 2007 at 11:27 pmOuch, Stella, and here I was about to answer your question “Does a first lady get a paycheck?” Have a nice life.
June 8th, 2007 at 12:03 amdo you think that george h.w. bush should have “pulled out”?
June 8th, 2007 at 12:18 amJakey so smart. I am thinking “K-Mart sucks”.
June 8th, 2007 at 1:47 amWell, do YOU think Bill Clinton would behave or not?
Comment by Jake
Depends on your definition of behave. As long as he isn’t: destroying American credibility, antogonizing the entire planet, pretending to have god on his side while “behaving” in total opposition to anything even remotely humanistic, shooting anyone in the face, manipulating the legal process, toturing, vomiting in the lap of foreign dignitaries, supporting sadistic dictators in one local while “promoting democracy” elsewhere, or butchering animals in the streets in a meth induced frenzy, I don’t care and it has no bearing on her candidacy. Afraid of her aren’t you?
June 8th, 2007 at 2:01 amThis “poll” is a vivid example of why Democrats are correct to boycott a Fox-hosted “debate”.
Reject the frame!
June 8th, 2007 at 7:46 am““Incidentally, President Bush’s approval rating is 34 percent.â€
What, that’s like a 5 or 6 percentage increase, right? Not bad, Bushy boy, not bad at all.”
Read the attached document idiot. It is not a 5 or 6 percent increase. It is 1% above the lowest polling that Bush has had on the Faux Noise polls. When you talk about polls, you have to compare apples to applies not applies to oranges. Every poll is different. Faux Noise polls are consistently higher than others because they hand pick the audience they poll. They probably poll 900 people who are subscribed to some Faux Noise newsletter or something.
June 8th, 2007 at 9:36 amWhy not have questions like “Do you think President Bush will go back to drinking or cocaine after his term is up?â€
Comment by hellinabucket — June 7, 2007 @ 6:11 pm
We on the left seem not to care that Obama admitted to doing cocaine. Amazine the hypocrisy of my silly little tools.
There is no evidence, but pure rumor that Bush did cocaine, and the Democrats go crazy and ask how can we have a President that did cocaine.
Yet, here we have Obama, who in his autobiography admitted to doing cocaine, and no one on the left cares.
*sniff, sniff* as usual, I smell hypocrisy in my party.
silly little dumbinabucket.
June 8th, 2007 at 9:58 amand the question about the hair is very important, why?
Because here we have John Edwards claiming that there are two Americas, poor and rich. Not three, not four, not five Americas, but two, poor and the rich.
yet the idiot made his millions by being a corrupt trial lawyer, and ambulance chaser and then he goes around spending money like a drunk rock star and then turns around and cries about rich people and poor people?!
Edwards is a buffoon. I knew Kerry screwed up when he chose him as VP, I called Kerry and asked him, “what the f**ck are you doing, Mr. Vietnam Veteran?” Kerry just cried his balls out and asked me to be VP, but I told him NO! I can’t be the VP of a Vietnam Veteran, do you know what you pigs did in Vietnam?!
that’s what I told them.
June 8th, 2007 at 10:03 amThis “poll†is a vivid example of why Democrats are correct to boycott a Fox-hosted “debateâ€.
Reject the frame!
Comment by Peter — June 8, 2007 @ 7:46 am
silly little Peter, why don’t you bother to think on your own. Why don’t you look at the poll question from the other news networks.
We the Democrats are cowards for not going to Foxnews and debating.
You see, we like the softball questions that CNN and MSNBC, ABC, etc throw at us. We hate to be put on the spot and be asked about our hypocrisy, about our wanting power over serving the people. We don’t want to be held accountable for any of our mistakes, etc, etc, etc.
June 8th, 2007 at 10:06 amIncidentally, President Bush’s approval rating is 34 percent.
Incidently, congress’ approval rating is just 39%. And 35% last month.
June 8th, 2007 at 10:08 amNot that you would ever read that here.
Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-California)
Pew Research Center for the People & the Press survey conducted by Princeton Survey Research Associates International. May 30-June 3, 2007. N=741 adults nationwide. MoE ± 4.
.
“Do you approve or disapprove of the way Nancy Pelosi is handling her job as speaker of the House?”
.
Approve: 36%
Disapprove33%
This is what TP won’t tell you, they keep on crying and pushing down my left wing sheeps polls about President Bush, but they don’t tell you that Pelosi is in huge trouble as well.
ahh, I love TP, speak in half-truths.
who are these 36% retards of mine who still support Pelosi, do they not see that America hates her living guts?!
we Democrats live and die by polls, what is Pelosi thinking?
June 8th, 2007 at 10:10 amAnd you ask “How can Fox News veiwers be so F%$#@*& stupid?” well there you go.
June 8th, 2007 at 11:27 amlast i checked, nancy pelosi isn’t president.
June 8th, 2007 at 11:31 am
