Matt Drudge tries to downplay Obama AP poll numbers
Drudge has on his website that Obama is at 60% approval rating. but then he has a little red star next to it saying the poll skewers towards Democrats by 17%. Then he has a link to some hack at National Review Online, who again tries his level best to downplay the poll.

Hey Matt, maybe you should have a little red mark every time you display a Rasmussen poll, since they skew Republican, but since you will never do it, makes you a laughingstock.

Look at the left hand side.

5. The only accurate polls are the ones that say what you want them to say.
It's pretty common.

6. Yeah, if Obama had George Bush type numbers
There would have been a bold black headline that said Obama plummeting in polls or something like that. But since it has Obama riding a high in the polls, it's one little sentence, and then a link to some hack in National Review downplaying the numbers.

10. Makes Sense
we do the same thing when Rasmussen's comes out.
They skew GOP

I don't know if his claim is true about AP, but I'm not going click on Dredge or NR - the horrors, the horrors.

Thanks for watching Dredge, so we don't have to.
