Yes, and some people on this thread don't have the sense to read the perfect quote from Rasmussen that Fox used. It's RASMUSSEN's direct quote here folks.

If you could read, you wouldn't be asking me if I was kidding. The entire left and lazy John Stewart type people anger me because they get hyper with emotion rather than facts.

Until the left starts using their brain cells for something besides mush, I don't have any respect for those emotion driven rather than fact based arguments.

It is Rasmussen's own quote and was probably phrased that way because of Rasmussen's own biases. However, anyone who could read what the hell AT LEAST means should be able to figure it out.

Fox "News" consists of a bunch of bozos.

Fact: They did not copy the mistake, they reported it. Too bad NBC, MSNBC, CBS, and CNN can't remember what a news report is.

Actually they couldn't comprehend what the hell at least meant. Regardless, even if they are reporting someone else's mistake shouldn't a light go off in someone's head when you see a poll adding up to 120%?? And not suggesting that more than 90% say it was likely when the damn thing says 26% said not at all likely?? This shouldn't be Rocket Science. This is just pure stupidity.

Do you think it takes a rocket scientist to think like Algore does? I heard him tell Letterman that the temp of the rocks about 2 meters below the Earth's surface is millions of degrees. Letterman didn't question that so I guess both of them are a bit stupid. However, Algore is the High Priest of climate change so he shouldn't make a mistake like that. I wonder how hot the oceans would be if that statement were correct. Scientists, even his kind, say that the temps at the core of the Earth are thousands of degrees but think about all the distance from the core to the surface.

If you haven't seen that one, it is on youtube and Beck shows in now and then like today. Go to his site with his clips and watch a while in the second segment and you may see Algore making that statement.

You are right about Rasmussen having those numbers wrong as I have seen them there. I caught it days ago when I saw it. Maybe I need top tell Scott that he has some dummies working for him. I wonder if he would like hearing that from one of his supporters.

When you have AT least in there it means just that, both somewhat likely and Very likely. So somewhat likely is 24%, very likely 35%, not at all likely 26%. The fact the idiots at Fixed News chose to add them up and insist more than 90% said it was likely when the damn thing says 26% not at all likely shows how retarded they are.
I can see that you are not a math teacher, or if you are there are some heavily snowed kids running around somewhere. Go over your numbers just in case you are wholly right.

I'll bet the thing about Rasmussen you don't like is their daily report of the President's standing. They take the number of people who really don't agree with him and compare that number with the group that really do think he is good, and today he came out -12. Can you understand how they do that? they do report the method and it doesn't take a lot of brains to understand it, but most lefties can't handle those numbers. When they put the strongly don't like with the somewhat don't like against the opposite things they come out with him about the same place the other polls are finding these days. I guess all of them are wrong since they all have him below 50% approval.

Umm sorry buddy my math is dead on.

The Rasmussen poll said AT LEAST 59% somewhat likely. 35% very likely, 26% Not Likely.

The at least part is key because that is for both very likely and somewhat likely. Since we know that is 59%, and we know very likely is 35%, well somewhat likely is actually 24%.

Why is this so hard to comprehend??
