Oh please. You pay a company to take a poll - you can control for who/what etc they talk to - and basically get the results you want. Of course any poll that FOX takes is going to say something bad about democrats and those who do not pray. They are fair and balanced conservatives - no more, no less.
Unless you know the exact question asked the answer is useless. And the second chapter in every statistics book is "lying w/stats or how to get the results you want with statistics" - and parties, candidates, corporations all use these sorts of studies/polls to further their own agendas. Just for once it would be nice to show something where Americans believe the same things - instead of trying to widen/highlight the gap between the left and right.
