Republican Mitt Romney holds a slim edge over President Obama in a head-to-head matchup, a Fox News poll released Thursday shows. In addition, the poll finds the president’s job rating has dropped to its lowest point of the year.

Whoops. And that poll was done before the Obama administration's War on Moms gaffe.

This is only the second time Romney has led in the FOX poll. Very encouraging.

But, but... no one's heard of them so it doesn't count.
Oh wait...
But it's still fox so it doesn't count, they're just a branch of the Republican Party. I'd rather look at PPP which has Obama ahead (You know, the pollster that is actually Democratic-affiliated by their own description)

Fox = propaganda. Of course they're going to side with Willard.

I would trust Fox polls more than any Democratic biase dnews outlets. Considering CNN conducted a study that found that Fox was much more "fair and balanced" in it's election coverage in the last election, more of you sheep should pay attention. I can't wait until Obama is voted out this year!!! We will finally be rid of that mistake!

Seriously. Want to talk biased, why do people refer to PPP so much? They are a Democratic pollster and they make no secret of it. Fox News is independent news media as is CNN, MSNBC, etc. Some independent news media sources are more biased than others, and as you pointed out Fox is very fair and balanced. I'm okay with both Fox and CNN and I get my news from both, but I think O'Reilly put it best when he pointed out that Fox tends to run more stories that the average person cares about, whereas CNN has more stories that maybe more interesting to news junkies or policy/international affairs wonks. I think both are important and have been reasonably impressed with coverage provided by Fox and CNN. I would trust polling from either source.

Even though it's been proven time and time again Fox distorted it's reporting? Or does that not matter, as long as it tells you what you want to hear

All of the other outlets completely distort their reporting as well. In my case, we may distort but on much less of a scale. And it has been prvoen time and time again that Fox is far more balanced that the liberal MSMS outlets.

Then again, we smart folk can sort through this kind of thing.

I figured farts, pee jokes and comic books typically made you laugh. But anything I can do to help.
