FOX news poll results, for what they're worth

Mon Sep 05, 2005 at 07:38:54 PM PDT

On a lark, I just checked FOX news' website to see if they run a daily poll like CNN, and they do via Greta Van Susteren (scroll down the page a bit).  Today's poll question is how would you describe the Bush Administration's response to the hurricane.

The results are quite a surprise - see below.

First of all, it really amazes me to see that most of the votes, 39%, are for 'disgraceful,' but if you add up all the numbers, you get:

39%   Disgraceful
20%   Started bad but improving (well, I guess we can all agree with that)
5%    Disappointing.

So, 64% of FOX's respondents have a negative opinion of the federal government's handling of Katrina.  I guess everyone has to admit the truth when you watch it unfold right in front of your eyes for an entire week.

As for the 34% who think Bush's doing a great job, well, I'm just surprised it's not larger.

The second thing that shocked me is that anyone can vote in their poll!  You don't have to sign in as a card-carrying Bush-lover!  Amazing.
