Seinfeld funnier than Jackie Gleason? Says who?

  • "The Simpsons vs. "Family Guy"

Thirty-six percent of Americans said they like "The Simpsons" better while 30 percent said they were a "Family Guy." Thirty-five percent said they "don't know" which could mean they like them both and can't decide, they don't watch such coarse shows, they've never seen or heard of those shows or they literally don't know. Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar and sometimes " I don't know" means I don't know, dohhhh....

This poll was conducted at the CBS News interviewing facility among a random sample of 1,132 adults nationwide, interviewed by telephone October 12-15, 2012. Phone numbers were dialed from random digit dial samples of both standard land-line and cell phones. The error due to sampling for results based on the entire sample could be plus or minus three percentage points. The error for subgroups is higher. This poll release conforms to the Standards of Disclosure of the National Council on Public Polls.
