Poll-itics- Did you know Obama had a poll spike? "Good news is no news"

Ain't this the truth:

So, if you're following at home, the Quinnipiac poll that showed Obama's Afghanistan policy receiving a spike in support is of little interest to the press. But the Quinnipiac poll that shows Obama's approval rating falling is of interest. Meanwhile, the Bloomberg poll showing Obama's approval ratings actually going up, is of little interest to the press. But the portion of the same Bloomberg poll showing increasing "wrong track" numbers is of interest.

In other words, good news is no news.

Go here for the numbers.

And this applies to more than just poll numbers. Balance and substance have been missing from news [sic] reporting for some time, which instead concentrates on sensational, attention-getting controversial headlines instead of the facts.

Yes, I am a broken record. Yes, I am a broken record. Yes, I am a broken record.
