In preparation for tonight’s Republican presidential debate, which is featuring a collaboration between Fox News and Twitter similar to their last event using the hashtags #answer and #dodge to involve viewer feedback in the conversation, I went looking on the FoxNews.com website to see if there was any more information about how they were going to handle the Twitter feedback. (You may recall that last time around, this experiment was essentially a bust.)
Well, I didn’t discover anything about the so-called “Twitter election,” but I did stumble on this interesting fact. According to the latest Fox News poll, President Obama has a 45% approval rating, with 57% of those surveyed disapproving of him and 8% undecided. That’s a very impressive 110% in all, for those of you who didn’t do well in math. Here’s the screenshot, and here’s a shot of the larger page that it appears on.
