Then or Than? (MSNBC)

"More Americans have given negative ratings to federal reaction to the BP spill then poll residents gave to the government's initial handling of the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina."

This should be than, right? I see this everywhere on the internet. Am I missing something?

Thanks.

Hi, Yes, 'than'. Without any context, the phrase 'poll residents' seems rather odd to me. Clive
