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?
