The Fox poll had Kerry beating Bush by 5% on election day 2004. No doubt BOR believed that poll too.
I’m not trying to annoy you, but I did a web search recently on Fox News polls from the Bush/Kerry election and their poll just a few days before the election had Bush leading by about 2.5 points, if I recall correctly. I was looking into the change in Fox News polls and how they seem to be slanting their polls now in favor of Zero. If you search for those polls from 2004 on Google I think you’ll find the same poll results that I found.
