Fox News Poll: Trump, Sanders lead respective primaries in New Hampshire

I guess if FOX says it it is right.

this poll off of Real Clear Politics or Huffington Post's Pollster if you'd rather. I went to the source.

Nothing FOX says, writes or posts can be trusted as truth.

If this is considered as a valid source on DU it would be an indicator to a possible reason there has been so much vitriol o this site in the last several months.

& Company Research (a Republican pollster). They get an above average rating for accuracy and reliability from 538.

Stop defending FOX

a poll, Opinion Research Corp. does the poll.

This is a Democratic pollster and a Republican pollster with good accuracy ratings. This is not reporting or editorializing.

This is reported by, and included within aggregate polling by Huffington Post's pollster as well as Real Clear Politics.

The fact that the stand demonstrates how diluted the membership here has become.

Find a reputable source for your information and I would recommend avoiding FOX because of their propensity for propaganda.

reporting on the same poll:

Sanders ahead of Clinton in New Hampshire poll

Company Research poll with no editorial comment whatsoever.

Use The Hill link if you prefer.

the OP was started.

I neither watch nor trust Fox News. However, if you want breaking news of a Fox News sponsored poll (conducted with a Democratic pollster -- and it is live phone poll and not a questionable internet poll or automated phone poll) in a battleground/first primary state, that news is going to break on Fox.

count on that.

I would assume that my house had been repossessed.

Using Fox as a source for anything is like using a fracking company's report on how safe drinking water is where they drill.
I'm not saying the figures are necessarily inaccurate, just that the source has a track record of being less than truthful at times (we purport, you deride)....

Conservatives "love" what Bernie is saying.

Uh huh.

so if his numbers are correct, why would the dem ones be wrong?

Have you read some of the things that DU's own resident FOX Noise commentator has posted here, to the applause of Hillary supporters (this year, that is, not back in 2008)?

At which point I got bored.

Research/Shaw & Company Research is a well respected bi-partisan polling team using live phone polling (including both landlines and cell phones), which is the A+ methodology.

If FOX isn't verboten here then neither should Gravis, the latter of which is not an auxiliary of the Republican party. It wasn't Gravis' methodology, flawed or not, that some believe makes it verboten. It was their alleged bias.

The fact that Anderson Robbins has a (D) after their name is of no moment. Hell, Judas Iscariot held himself out as a disciple of Christ.

C'mon people. Be honest with yourselves. Yes, Fox News sucks. It's a terrible place with opinionated assholes who tend to report their news with a clear bias. That doesn't make all news tainted. If they reported that the sky was blue would you disagree with on principle alone? That's the kind of thinking that helps nobody. Let's not cut off our nose to spite our face.

The data was obtained from an unbiased secondary source. Fox can spin the polls all they want, but if we have access to the raw numbers we can view them without the Fox News' bias. That's the important thing.

In the end most all of the poll results fall within the margin of error (MoE), including the Hillary Vs Sanders question. I found the individual match-up results of Hillary Vs Republican Candidates to be interesting though. She "beats": Trump, Cruz and Christie (Only Trump being outside of the MoE). She "loses" to: Carson, Bush, Kasish, Rubio (With only Rubio outside of the MoE). She's tied with Fiorina in this limited poll. Frankly, that matches up with my gut feeling that Rubio would be the hardest candidate in a general. Again, small sample-size caveats abound!

Oddly, they didn't do heads-up polling of Sanders Vs Republican Candidates which could mean any number of things. Perhaps they just want a feel of how badly they've damaged Hillary's reputation, or to see which Republican candidate to cover most favorably in the future. Who knows. That's where your Fox News spin machine comes into play.

If Rubio truly is Hillary's toughest match-up it's going to be interesting to see the results of the Republican Primaries. He's coming in 2nd in this NH poll, but you'd have to imagine the closer we get to Primary Season the more people will realize "Holy shit, we could be sending Donald Trump into the General Election!" and sober up. Trump has such a high unfavorability rating.

because it airs on the Fox network.

Anderson Robbins Research/Shaw & Company is a bi-partisan polling team with a demonstrated record of reliability and accuracy confirmed by 538 and the poll was done using the most reliable methodology of live cellphone/landline live phone polling.

Hate Fox News, but don't let hatred cloud your judgment.

If Trump doesn't quit, he will win the republican primary. Will he take Rubio, Cruz or Bush as VP? I guess Rubio as he has less hateful baggage.

I don't think Trump 'likes' Fiorina enough to be stuck with a woman as VP for years. He wouldn't be able to 'fire' her, if he has a bad day.

Of course none of them would ever make it inside the White House.
