Frank Luntz’ Focus Group Turns Unruly While Discussing Obama’s Tax Cuts

Fox News contributor and right-of-center pollster Frank Luntz held a focus group yesterday for Hannity and the results were remarkable for a couple of reasons. First, the speech that Obama made announcing the extension of the Bush Tax Cuts saw a far more positive response from GOP participants than those who self-identified as Democrats. Secondly, and perhaps more entertainingly, the follow up discussion was like a scene from The Jerry Springer Show. Woof.

The focus group was held in Las Vegas, because as Luntz describes, nearly no one that lives in Las Vegas is originally from there, so he presented this collection of “normal Americans” (neglecting to mention that they all appeared to have made the same, odd decision to live in Las Vegas.) Things go from predictably unruly, to remarkably unruly towards the end of the clip, which is odd given that its originally presented in a manner that brings expectations of unity. Not so much.
