Fox & Friends used a Rasmussen poll to show how people feel about scientists falsifying research to support Global Warming. Fox News then took the poll results, did some manipulation, and displayed the results… totaling 120%.

Apparently, the actual poll results were as follows: According to the poll, 35 percent thought it very likely, 24 percent somewhat likely, 21 percent not very likely, and 5 percent not likely at all (15 percent weren’t sure).

Fox News added the “very likely” and “somewhat likely” figures together, which total 59% and retained the “somewhat likely” label. They then included the 35% “very likely” in their graphic in addition to the new “somewhat likely” votes. The result shows a total of 120% and that doesn’t include the 15% who weren’t sure…

Original Story

First things first – A Fox News poll shows Barack Obama’s approval rating above 60%.

So, why would Bill O’Reilly not use that poll’s findings? Is it not accurate? Is it because he found one that gives Obama a lower rating? According to the Rasmussen poll, only 34% of American approve of the job Obama is doing. He chose to use that poll instead.

What is this Rasmussen poll? Scott Rasmussen is a frequent guest on Fox News and the poll’s questions have frequently been criticized for have a strong right-wing slant. Ah hah.
