    This would probably be an axiomatic notion of probability, as it places the approval of past presidents with the current president. If it were taken from the perspective of whether or not President Obama will be elected for a second term, though, it could be seen as subjective probability statistics.

    This article approaches probability axiomatically. The scientists first estimated how many of the fragments of satellite would burn up on reentry based on their size. Then, for the components they expect survived the reentry, they determined the probability that they would hit any populated area and cause damage. They reasoned that since most of the planet's surface is water, there is a greater probability for the satellite debris to land in the ocean rather than on land.

    Probability:  This article uses mainly the axiomatic notion of Probability but touches on the subjective and empirical notions as well.

    This uses empirical probability, since although it isn't cited, it presumably uses data to assess the probability

    This article contains axiomatic probability because it checks the ways this specific event can occur (West Antarctic Sheet collapsing) and compares it to the number of outcomes that can occur (whether it collapses or remains).

    The data is empirical, although the validity of the claims may not be that soild. They took the latest poll results for each state and translated them into probabilities.

    "Beau's caretakers at the Yellow River Game Ranch in Lilburn say he has a 94 percent accuracy rating..." I'd say this is an example of subjective probability.

    Interprets the variance in a batter's average on a year to year basis and tries to determine how much of an effect a hitter's and pitcher's relative skills have on balls in play.  Uses empirical probability methods with batting averages.

    McCreeley seems to invoke the axiomatic notion of probability, but her view is likely much more subjective.

    Non-native Burmese pythons introduced to Florida 30 years ago are likely causing mammal decline in the area (the probabilities presented in the article are subjective).
