Of course, unscientific online polls don’t mean much of anything, right? Still, this one is both interesting and/or amusing, given where it is and what the question was.
Our guess is that these results won’t be getting much air time on Fox “News”…
UPDATE 10/16/11: Oh, look! After all the attention the above poll received outside of Fox “News”, a huge number of alleged votes have now flipped the results back in favor of “No. They have no idea how jobs are created or how a free-enterprise system works.” Go figure.
I’ve been saying for some time that the Tea party folks and Progressives had more in common than not. The primary difference being the daily onslaught of misinformation the Tea party types consumed.And as soon as they realize they’ve been lied to, they will be pissed!
This kinda proves I may have been onto something.
I’m surprise that those poll results aren’t the lead story on the “fair and balanced†news. (:>p I bet there were some tight sphincters among the foxes when those results appeared.
Seems like they could have left off the editorializing at the end of it.
This is probably because of the Occupy accounts on Twitter calling for Occupywallstreet to flood the pool. Saw it myself. Which makes it no so credible.
Even their reporters support it them http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T5Z2tUAmOUY

Have you got any proof? I disregard all statements made without proof.
I find it interesting because less than 2 hours after Fox initially put up this poll, the ‘no’ column had over 40k votes, and the ‘yes’ column barely had 5k.
There was a discourse on reddit on the fact that a person could refresh the poll after voting and vote again. In addition, there was speculation that Fox initially rigged the poll so they’d have more ‘reason’ to discount OWS (given the 40k vote count). The way I see it, if that was the case, I have no issue with the OWS movement flooding a rigged poll to ruin the results Fox intended.
a Faux poll and anyone cares? why?
#1 I agree with you . Have been feeling the same way for a long time. Ron Paul and Pat Buchanan were both against the Iraq war. The military industrial complex is costing US dearly in respect, morals and money.
a Faux poll and anyone cares? why?
Because they vote too. RIP republican party.
not a very accurate voting page, it allows anyone to vote as many times as they want, it doesn’t restict one vote per ip address. what a pos
I just voted both yes, the first time and no the second time and the totals on the results never changed. So I would guess Fox changed the answer to what they wanted and then locked the poll. The poll is there, you just can’t vote but most people wouldn’t notice the totals are not changing.
