FOX viewers:

McCain - 87%
Obama - 9%

CNN viewers:

Obama - 65%
McCain - 26%

MSNBC viewers:

Obama - 63%
McCain - 30%

While McCain is regarded favorably by 88% of Fox News viewers, only 43% of CNN viewers and 38% of those who watch MSNBC agree. But just 14% of Fox viewers have a favorable opinion of Obama, as opposed to 70% of CNN watchers and 72% of those watching MSNBC.

How voters rate the importance of issues is also reflected in the cable news programming they prefer. For 36% of Fox viewers, national security is the most important issue in the campaign, followed by 32% who say economic issues are number one. By contrast, those who watch CNN rate economic issues over national security 56% to 13%, and MSNBC viewers agree 50% to 12%.

In other news, the sky is blue, the Pope is Catholic and BRTD needs to grow up.

Iraq (which is NOT national security, or even related) is number 1 issue.

I'm kind of surprised CNN's viewers are stronger for Obama than MSNBC's.

Obama/ CNN viewer here.   Use to watch MSNBC, but switched to Verizon Fios and MSNBC is not offered due to some exclusive rights contract MSNBC has with Cablevision in the NY metro area.

Fox News is a reasonable deviation away from being almost entirely viewed by Republicans.

It seems the only people who buy into the "fair and balanced" network are Republicans who enjoy to listen to an echo chamber.

And you think people who watch Keith Olbermann are less biased?

30% of Olbermann's viewers will vote for McCain

9% of Hannity or O'reilly's viewers will vote for Obama.

Yes, I would say so.

I watch MSNBC a lot.  Mainly, I enjoy watching Olbermann's head explode every night.  I'm also amused by Mathews giving Obama his nightly tongue bath.

Great entertainment.

Did you look at the poll, Chris?  I know many people who watch MSNBC, but aren't Olbermann regulars.

Olbermann is MSNBC's most watched program by far.

I mainly put on cable news for background noise when I'm on the computer.

^^ This, but I enjoy O'Reilly's show. I also like Olbermann if I want a good laugh.
