I can not believe you haven’t been polled! I was being called at least once a day...with push polls, real polls, robocalls....in the last 3 federal elections, while I was in two different states, and had an unlisted phone number!
How do you get out of it?
Murdoch
Fox business could go the same way if they aren't careful....
they had some really good field reporters at the beginning of the war.....their names escape me.( Leventhal?)..but now it seems they rely on some basic twits and blonde haired women that practically look identical....
Fox seems to ignore any poll that shows McCain doing well for some reason.
I've been polled 3 times this year. I wasn't within the sample group they were looking for (age) in another, but my 20 something son was, so he took the poll. I was polled 4 years ago & I was also polled during the Clinton impeachment. My phone number must be in someones speed dial.
FOX seems to get more liberal as the day goes on. They peak at about 9 AM. Brit and his panel have all buried McCain, although Shep Smith did at least mention the tight AP poll on his 7 PM broadcast.
I think it’s a result of some kind of corporate directive to be nice to what they view will be the next administration. After all, Rupert Murdoch has been a big supporter of Hillary in the past.
I’ve never been polled either...except by merchants...and once by someone asking what radio stations I listen to...paid me $2.00... ;-)
40 years as an adult and....nothing ....
Fox is junk news. I stopped watching them long before they declared FR a “hate” site.
I watched a few minutes of Neil Cavuto this evening. He had Imus on and both were insisting John McCain was grumpy and grouchy this morning on Imus show.
I heard that show and McCain was laughing in Imus’ face and was really not letting him attack Sarah.
That Cavuto would go along with the big lie was sickening.
As far as I am concerned there is no fair or balanced media outlet in America.
IMO, CNN`s reporting of the Gulf War was the last straw for conservatives. It was a long five years until Fox News started broadcasting. All we had in between was Roger Ailes cable outlet, America’s Talking. The forerunner of msnbc.
People get way too upset about Fox News. Folks have to take the good with the bad. Half the time Fox News does a good job, 1/4 of the time they do an average job and the last 1/4 is sub-par. But 95% of the time FNC is better then CNN and 99% of the time better then msnbc.
I have been extensively involved in politics since the early 90’s. And I have never been polled, either. I think that is why polls have always been such a joke to me.
Couldn't sleep one nite and had the misfortune of being subjected to it..
They are all closet liberals. Or so it seems.
I've never been polled either btw.
Fox has jumped the shark.
Threatened by Obama with the “fairness doctrine”, no doubt.
I have not been polled for this election either — and I live in NC now, which seems to be an on the fence state. I happy to be under the radar :-)
What many people don’t know is that Al Walid bin Talal, the Saudi prince worth 20 billion who financed Khalid Al Mansour and Obama’s education, bought a large stake in NewsCorp.

Notice that nobody in the media will touch this guy. He is the one funding these Arab Student groups across the US colleges, including endowing 20 million to both Harvard and Georgetown for Islamic studies departments; and also the “Sharia in the USA” conference at Georgetown university [http://www.campus-watch.org/article/id/5689].
Look at how violent the Obama supporters are. Geeze! If the pollster has the phone number, he very well may have the address too.
Welcome Newbie...
Now, he is as bad as Bill Press as far as bias goes.
Franken is a stool for the DNC (yes, a "stool", which is lower than a "tool", if you get my drift)....
The talking heads in all of the Washington and New York news rooms live in a bubble. They only talk to “insiders,” the anointed and each other. They have no perspective other than the “conventional wisdom” of the beltway/Wall Street axis. Plus, they are afraid of not getting invited to all of the “correct” cocktail parties. After all, that’s really where the true heart of our nation lies, or so they believe.
Washington must be emptied and restocked with real live Americans on a regular schedule. There should be a fixed time limit on anyones presence in that pest hole.
In a truly free market, Wall Street will clean out its own dead wood.
