The ~ *ahem* ~ FOX poll (no relation) was ostensibly conducted in the same manner as other "legitimate" polls (Gallup, Zogby, et al.): telephone calls to random voters. With an online poll, there's no guarantee that respondents aren't stuffing the ballot box, so to speak.

Online polls also usually consist of a single, simple question -- often associated with an article expressing a particular viewpoint (such as this one is). Respondents might be predisposed to answering the question a certain way, depending on what drew them to the article in the first place.*

For the record, I answered "yes" without reading the article, having already come to that conclusion without benefit of persuasion by others. Misfeasance and malfeasance in office are, to me, sufficiently high misdemeanors.

However, you are correct in noting that TB is less critical of a poll if it contains results he finds agreeable. He will find fewer of those these days, online "crap" or otherwise.

[* -- Historical note: It was such a poll question, associated with an article at MSNBC about the space program, that led me to what has since become HZ. I daresay many of the older-timers can say the same.]
