Many pundits have speculated that President Obama's decision to kill Osama bin Laden would lead to an increase in Obama's poll numbers. Some have gone so far as to say that this act has guaranteed his re-election.
Not so fast, please.
Most polls have showed a smaller than expected "bounce" for the President. I guess that after everyone went home from the parties celebrating the take-down of bin Laden, many went to buy gasoline and realized that it still cost $4.00 + per gallon.
Well, the main-stream media can't let their favorite liberal President down. They said he would get a bounce, and dammit, they got him one. An AP/GFK poll was released today which showed the President's overall approval shooting up to 60%! One small problem, though, the poll was heavily skewed to get Democrat respondents. Check out this post which notes that the poll had almost twice as many Democrat as Republican respondents.
That's what I like about our current media. If the news isn't telling the story they want told, they'll just make something up that fits their worldview.
As I've written many times, somewhere, Thomas Jefferson is weeping over the demise of the fourth estate.
