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

More than 500,000 men and women between the age of 50 and 71 participated in this 10-year study that concludes that 11% of deaths in men and 16% of deaths in women could have been prevented if participants cut their red meat consumption. [The study was published 3 years ago, but it's still interesting]. Mostly empirical, though also a bit subjective.

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

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

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.
