This wasn't a Fox News poll, this was a Siena poll, which as far as I can tell is actually a reputable source for poll numbers.

You can find all these specific numbers in the crosstab if you care to.

It's also "among conservatives" and with Fox News viewers, an implied, but incorrect assumption that they are the majority. Well, maybe NYC is mostly conservatives, but if they were actually confident, they wouldn't feel the need to be weasely about things.
