Foxnews = fauxnews.

Not to be trusted.

Not fair. Not balanced.

LOL...unlike unCredibleNewsNetwork, and all their offshoots

The poll numbers come from Real Clear Politics which averages the results of trusted polls like Rasmussen, Gallup and Zogby.

All Fox did was link to the feed.

The only poll that matters are elections and the Iowa Caucus. Polls don't mean a damn thing.
The fact that Faux News is neither fair nor balanced is simply a fact. It matters not a whit that other media outlets are less so or more so. The logical conclusion is to trust neither, and I don't.

Isn't that like saying the only votes that matter in Presidential elections are the Electoral College votes?

D'OH

The popular vote tells who the people want.

The electoral college tells the people that their government is sick and needs an overhaul whenever it does not agree with the popular vote.

It is utterly pitiful that the idiot Congress has not removed the Electoral College after is gave us Juniorbush. They deserve toi be flogged daily until they change the effing Constitution.

So, you think Samuel J. Tilden should have been president in 1876? Grover Cleveland should have won in 1888? Andrew Jackson in 1824? Nixon in 1960?

It also requires a plurality of states to make that change. Since it would reduce (in many cases to nearly nothing) the influence of the majority of the states (ie, New York, Florida, Illinois, and California would essentially decide every future presidential election) it's not likely to ever pass.
