More Faux Polls From Fox News
Here we go again. Another under-handed, 11th-hour pre-election Fox News poll, this time meant to influence the outcome of MidTerm Elections: Fox pre-election polls last time out in 2020: “Wishful thinking has become Fake News over at Fox News: (Canada Free Press, June 29, 2020)

“Trump’s poll numbers in recent weeks have trended downward amid criticism over his administration’s handling of the coronavirus epidemic and the White House response to the protests and riots following the death of George Floyd in late May while in Minneapolis police custody.”(Fox News)
“Few other networks have gone so far out of their way to make the public at large believe that there is no way for the president to win Election 2020 than Fox News, which rose to No. 1 on Cable News through identifying as “fair and balanced”.
Shouldn’t even the most gullible among us, wonder whether Fox News went past poll manipulation to being in on the alleged fraud of Election 2020? Did Fox News already know the outcome of Election 2020 before it happened? Here’s the latest from Fox Poll Election predictions: Headline: ‘House: Republicans forecast to win a majority of 2 to 30 seats; fewer than anticipated in July’. (Fox News, Aug. 22, 2022)

Story opening line: “Republicans are predicted to take control of the House in November.
“Our latest rankings still expect Republicans to win the House, now with a majority of 2 to 30 seats (a total of 220 to 248 seats). The exact number of seats depends on how many toss-up districts are won by Democrats and Republicans. If GOP candidates win half of those highly competitive districts, then the party would govern with a comfortable 16-seat majority (234 seats). Make no mistake, the national environment looks good for conservatives.” (Fox News) “However, there are probably fewer seats in play for the GOP than there were in July. In the last rankings, Republicans were expected to take a 22-seat majority (again, assuming they win half the toss-up races). With a new estimated majority of 16 seats, the GOP net gain has shrunk by six over the last six weeks.”
Fox Poll strategy? ‘No need for Republican supporters to get out and vote. Stay home and relax. The Republicans are going to win anyway’…by maybe TWO seats. Why is Fox News providing the life support for the moribund dead Democrat Party?
“In those same weeks, Democrats have enjoyed a polling boost. The latest national Fox News Poll showed the Democrats and GOP tied at 41% each on the "generic ballot" question, which asked registered voters whether they would vote for the Democratic or Republican candidate in their district. Several other high-quality polls are showing similar shifts. Throughout July and August, gas prices have eased a little; the Supreme Court’s abortion ruling remained a top story; and Democrats took victory laps over computer chip manufacturing legislation and a climate, health care and tax package. It all has amounted to a late-summer swell for the left. (Fox News)
While people are going hungry and little babies still without formula, Fox News!
“President Biden’s approval rating has also ticked up a few points (the president signed all those bills into law, after all). In the latest Fox News poll, 42% of voters approved of Biden while 58% disapproved, reducing a 19-point deficit in July to 16 points now. Of course, Biden’s approval rating is still relatively low at this point of his presidency, and therefore has remained a major drag on the Democrats' prospects.(Fox News)
“Relatively low?” When is Fox News going to get with reality? Surely it can’t happen fast enough with only 11 weeks left before November Midterm Elections. 11 weeks to go until election night
