A poll shows that Fox viewers are far more likely to approve of the job George W. Bush is doing as president.
By Tim Grieve

From Romenesko via Dan Froomkin comes this poll of Californians conducted by the Survey and Policy Research Institute at San Jose State University: "Among those who watch Fox for their news, 59 percent approve of the job George W. Bush is doing as president and 29 percent disapprove. But among non-Fox viewers, just 25 percent approve of the presidents performance and 66 percent disapprove."
