Fox News poll--which is the better political party for fighting against Muslim terrorists?

I found this Fox News poll through Talking Points Memo, and TPM Cafe. It is just incredible. So let's go to the Fox News poll:

If there is an all-out war between the United States and various radical Muslim groups worldwide, who would you rather have in charge -- Democrats or Republicans?

Democrats...........41 percent
Republicans.........38 percent
Both the Same........9 percent
Don't Know..........12 percent

Here is a screen capture of this poll question, showing a breakdown on the details of this question;



According to the Fox News poll, the sample size was 900 registered voters nationwide, with a sampling error of plus-minus three percent. Because of the three percent sampling error, the result is essentially a tie between the Democrats and Republicans on fighting against Muslim terrorism. Eric Kleefeld at TPM Cafe perfectly sums up this Fox News poll result in his own posting:

The question of which party the people would trust more to lead World War III against a global coalition of Islamofascists should have been a gimme for the Republicans. But they couldn't even manage to get a plurality. Pathetic.
