Check out the on-screen text and then listen to the results of the poll.

Apparently, fair and balanced means that even 28 deserves a chance to be greater than 36.

Just pay attention to what the text on the screen says at the beginning and end. It says the GOP candidate is now favored to win yet the story is reporting that the Dem candidate has 36 percent while the GOP candidate has 28 percent.

Listen carefully. They are saying there are three write in canidates that total 35%. Out of those three, the leading canidate has 28% of the total vote giving her the majority of the WRITE IN votes. Not the overall vote.

Numbers have a well known liberal bias.

Thanks for backing me up that the on-screen text is incorrect. Appreciate your support.

I'm actually laughing at the last quote in the clip. He throws out all these numbers...I'm too tired to try to understand that many numbers at once. I thought Fox news is supposed to be easy to understand....
