Murdoch Versus God in the Polls

PPP polling seemed to have alot of time on their hands this summer day. In addition to polling how Congress was doing, they decided to test the approval ratings of Rupert Murdoch and God. USA Today showed that 80% of Americans think Newscorp should be investigated here in the States. PPP shows that Murdoch didn't fare so well with his testimony in the UK. He had a 12% approval rating against 49% disapproval. The others probably didn't know who he was. Only 9% of self-designated liberals approve, 60% disapprove. Among conservatives he's not making out that great either--23% approve, 27% disapprove, the rest were afraid of Fox News.

But God does much better but not as well as you might think. God has a 52% approval rating and only 9% disapproval, the rest are also scared on the divine being. For his greatest hits, God gets high marks for Creation--71% to 5%. On how he handled the animal kingdom,56% to 11%. A little lower on natural disasters--50 to 13%.

So much to the consternation of House Republicans, Rupert Murdoch clearly isn't God. Republicans were asked whether Barack Obama would be raptured. 44% said he would not be. But 37% weren't so sure.
