Remember during the Bush years, a day seldom went by without the liberal media reminding us how low Bush's poll numbers were? Or the poll numbers of the Republican Congress
Now when it comes to Obama's poll numbers, the liberal media does its best to sweep them under the rung and try to blame Republicans for the losuy economy, lack of confidence in government on the part of the voters, and the lack of consumer confidence
Well, the Washington Post reported it, but it was in the 21st paragraph of a 24-paragraph story on page A11, in an article entitled "White House is divided on how to portray Obama," (http://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/two-images-of-obamas-role-in-resolving-debt-crisis/2011/07/29/gIQAGx9CiI_story.html?wprss=rss_politics) no less:
New polling numbers suggest that voters have been unimpressed with Obama’s performance — with his once-sizable reelection advantage evaporating in a matter of weeks.
A survey published this week by the Pew Research Center for the People and the Press finds that 41 percent of voters want to see Obama reelected next year, compared with 40 percent who favor a Republican. In May, Obama led by 11 points, 48 to 37. The explanation: The number of independents wanting an Obama victory fell from 42 percent in May to 31 percent now.
While the media have been doing their level best to lower the public's approval for conservatives and to sell the public on the notion that President Obama is the grown-up in Washington, the debt ceiling deadlock is souring Americas on the president, particularly self-described independents who would be a crucial voting bloc in 2012
