Fox News released a poll (.pdf) this week with many of the usual political questions one would expect to see right now — the 2008 presidential race, the war, etc. But, with the Super Bowl in mind, the network also asked respondents two of the strangest questions I’ve ever seen in a national poll.

35. Do you believe God plays a role in determining which team wins a sporting event?

Yes: 27%
No: 66%
Don’t know: 7%

36. Which team do you think God wants to win the Super Bowl this year?

Chicago Bears: 14%
Indianapolis Colts: 11%
Same/No difference: 16%
God’s too busy/doesn’t play favorites: 33%
Don’t believe in God: 1%
Don’t know: 25%

Why on earth would any news outlet in the country pay money to put these questions in the field?

And one-in-four people actually believe that divine intervention helps dictate the results of sporting events?

Why on earth would any news outlet in the country pay money to put these questions in the field?

god told them to do it, obviously.

When Tony Dungy and the owner of the Colts were splurging on God talk up there on the podium, thanking God for their victory, I was personally praying for Jim Nantz to ask, "Well, does that mean God hates the Chicago Bears?"
