CNN Biased Poll Reporting…54% Approve Of Obama But Numbers Decline On Almost All Issues

No bias in the reporting of this new poll eh?

cnnobamapoll

They fail to report on some pretty significant drops in the poll....drops that if it had been swung the other way would of been in big bold letters:

Fifty-four percent of respondents to the latest CNN poll disapprove of Barack Obama’s performance on the economy, a 17-point swing in six weeks. That isn’t the worst of the poll, either; 57% now disapprove of Obama’s performance on health care, a 19-point swing in that same time.
~~~

a 17-point reversal on the economy and a 19-point reversal on health care would be, well, news. One has to wonder why neither get mentioned in a report on the popularity of a president whose central issues are health care and the economy. The rapid disintegration of his popularity on these positions will have enormous implications for Obama’s ability to push his agenda through Congress in both arenas, and also on the midterm elections a year from now if this becomes a trend.

In fact, it’s hard to find an issue where Obama has not lost ground:

I DOUBT it is representative of the US population.

They have a left leaning perspective, thus a largely lefty audience.

What would a Glen Beck Fox poll produce?

How can people DISAPPROVE of “almost everything” and still give him an approval rating of 54%?

It doesn’t makes sense.

Seems like no matter how bad things get Barry's numbers remain constant. If I were the suspicious type I'd think there was some fudging of the poll numbers.

Remember: The Recession Ends when Barry's on the Unemployment Line.

>> On the 54% approval. Something doesn’t smell right.

It’s all in how the question is worded.

“On a scale of one to five, where five is ‘I approve of Obama” and 1 is ‘I hate all black people’...”

The numbers are just now getting to the point that he’s losing those who voted for him last year. People don’t like to admit that they’re wrong. Give it a few more months and they’ll be sick of making excuses for him, too.

State-run media consultant Dan Rather says the CNN poll is “Fake, but accurate” and wonders what’s the frequency, Kenneth?

You can’t say you disapprove of Obama - you’ll be called a rascist. I proudly say that I disapprove of Obama and everything he stands for. I would love to ship him and all his commie friends to the communist country of their choice. As long as they’re not here. Can we put him in exile?

CNN polls - a freeper posted articles (pictures w/the clinton’s included) on who does there polling. Unfortunately, didn’t book mark it. There is NO doubt of their bias. I’d say his approval is more like 34%!

“The CNN/Opinion Research Corporation poll was conducted October 30 through November 1, with 1,018 adult Americans questioned by telephone. The survey’s sampling error is plus or minus 3 percentage points.”

How many conservative would immediately hang up on hearing “This is CNN and...”?

It’s CNN. Of course they’re lying. It’s like the old joke... How can you tell if a politican is lying?

How can you tell if CNN is lying? They are on the air.

CNN continues to prove that they are nothing more than a clone of the North Korean state media machine.

I am surprised the worthless CNN bastards are not referring to Raila Odinga's favorite cousin as "Dear Leader."
