Jeezh. Fox New Poll has Bush at 38% - up 3 from their last poll.

[leftyladyfrommo]

Newsweek had him at 30 last week.

I just looked out on http://www.pollingreport.com.

Fox always has the most interesting of all the polls. I think they just call Republicans for their numbers.

After the awful week this adm. has had in the media and the reports and the hearings I would think that Bush and Cheney would be in the negative numbers by now.

1. It's Faux. Always good for a relaxing departure from reality. eom

2. Yeah, cuz...oh, wait, you said Fox? All righty then.

BTW, it makes no sense to compare numbers on different polls. For all we know, the previous Faux poll had him at 40. Or not - but who cares? It's faux.

3. OTOH, if * is polling only 40% from Republicans...

...imagine what his numbers are for the REST of the country. Heh.

5. But actually, he thought as he re-adjusted the Ministry of Plenty's figures, it was not even forgery

It was merely the substitution of one piece of nonsense for another. Most of the material that you were dealing with had no connexion with anything in the real world, not even the kind of connexion that is contained in a direct lie. Statistics were just as much a fantasy in their original version as in their rectified version. A great deal of the time you were expected to make them up out of your head. For example, the Ministry of Plenty's forecast had estimated the output of boots for the quarter at one-hundred-and-forty-five million pairs. The actual output was given as sixty-two millions. Winston, however, in rewriting the forecast, marked the figure down to fifty-seven millions, so as to allow for the usual claim that the quota had been overfulfilled. In any case, sixty-two millions was no nearer the truth than fifty-seven millions, or than one-hundred-and-forty-five millions. Very likely no boots had been produced at all. Likelier still, nobody knew how many had been produced, much less cared. All one knew was that every quarter astronomical numbers of boots were produced on paper, while perhaps half the population of Oceania went barefoot. And so it was with every class of recorded fact, great or small. Everything faded away into a shadow-world in which, finally, even the date of the year had become uncertain.

6. They probably increased it to the top number within the margin of error. I don't think

it sounds like a real bump. Just playing with numbers. Who believes anything Fox puts out or says other than the sheep they shepard?
