The FauxNews Poll is funny - a lesson in "how to load survey questions."
Edited on Fri Oct-10-08 01:31 PM by jefferson_dem
Biased much?

43. There has been some discussion of Barack Obama's relationship with the former radical activist William Ayers. Because Ayers is linked to plots to bomb the Pentagon and the U.S. Capitol in the 1970s, and because Ayres recently said he wished he had done more, some people say Obama's association with Ayers calls into question his judgment. Does Obama's connection with Ayers make you less likely to vote for him for president or does it not really make a difference to your vote?

versus

44. As you may know, there has been some discussion of John McCain's involvement with Charles Keating, of the so-called Keating Five savings and loan scandal of the 1980s. McCain was cleared of all charges and ethical complaints, but some people think McCain's past association with Charles Keating still calls into question his judgment. Does McCain's past connection with Keating make you less likely to vote for him for president or does it not really make a difference to your vote?

PS. Check out the candidates' favorables. :spray:

Barack Obama +26
John McCain +7
Joe Biden +28
Sarah Palin +7

1. Even though Faux News tried to give a totally pro-Republican slant to their survey,
Obama-Biden still come about 400% better in the favorables than McCain-Palin.

pwned!
