Their top story on the website right now is "Is Ben Bernanke's Confirmation As Fed Chairman in Trouble?"

No mention of the audit in the article though.

I bet the Fed's PR machine is vote spamming. Who on Earth would vote Yes?

If those individuals voting yes were being honest, I think the poll would look more like this:

Yes
4.3%

No
50%

Not Sure
46%

I should mention, however, that it's just like the media to personalize the failure of the Federal Reserve, shielding the institution itself from criticism.
