Fox Quest

What happens when a propaganda machine masquerading as a news channel does it's own polling?

Fox News is asking some rather loaded questions in its latest poll:

Have you heard any of your friends and neighbors say there is something about Barack Obama that scares them?

Yes 49% No 50%

Have you heard any of your friends and neighbors say there is something about John McCain that scares them?

Yes 36% No 62%

Some people believe Barack Obama, despite his professed Christianity, is secretly a Muslim. Others say that is just a rumor and Obama really is a Christian as he says, and point out he's attended a Christian church for years. What do you believe -- is Obama a Muslim or a Christian?

Muslim 10% Christian 57%

John McCain was held captive for five years in a North Vietnamese prisoner of war camp. Do you think that experience would make McCain a better president or a worse president?

Better 49% Worse 11% No Difference (voluntary) 33%

Do you think Barack Obama's trip to Iraq, Afghanistan and the Middle East is better described as a fact-finding trip or as a campaign event?

Fact-finding 19%Campaign event 47%Both (voluntary) 25%
