I'm surprised that they even got the party affiliations correct.
party identification isn't the only thing the Fox News graphic department screws up on.
How To Read A Poll “FOX” Style

This is one of those double take situations. FOX just ran a segment on the TX-22 race. Notice that graphic from the network of "fair and balanced", that says the GOP candidate is now leading in the race for Tom Delay's old seat. Now watch this clip and listen to the actual numbers of the poll, as well as the explanation given by Democrat Nick Lampson
Video - WMV Video - QT
So the poll has Lampson leading by 36%, while the GOP candidate is at 28%. To FOX news, being down by 8 points apparently means the candidate is in the lead. Now that is some interesting math right there. Now to be fair, the Republican is leading in the polls - amongst the write in candidates. Lampson is not a write-in candidate though.
