Media Polls -- Reporting Results of News Coverage
Morton Kondracke has this column at Real Clear Politics on how Bush's approval numbers don't seem to reflect his performance. The economy and foreign policy look to be in great shape, but his popularity has dropped.
Kondracke won't come out and say what this is really all about -- negative news coverage causes negative poll results. He mentions that the Schiavo coverage may not have accurately reflected her true condition, but he doesn't confront the reality of baldly partisan coverage intended to hurt the president.

Gee whiz, it wouldn't have anything to do with 2/3rds of americans disagreeing with the presidents actions concerning mrs. Schiavo, would it?
Zogby poll showed 9 of 10 respondents, given an accurate description of her condition, said she shouldn't be starved to death.
Inaccurate/slanted reporting makes a huge difference.
