L.A. Times: We Mention Only the Negative Polls By Patterico on War Patterico's Pontifications <snip>... Apparently, the editors considered negative polls a significant enough issue to mention three times in one story.... <snip>... Interesting that, where the L.A. Times sees “sagging support", the Washington Post finds that “a majority of Americans — 53 percent — now say they are optimistic about the situation in Iraq, up seven points from December.”... <snip>... A narrow majority — 52 percent — believes that the war has contributed to the long-term security of the United States, a five-point increase from earlier this month.... <snip>... Since then, a new Gallup poll has emerged showing still more positives for Bush.... <snip>... it showed Bush picking up ten points on whether we are winning in Iraq (up to 54%), twelve points on keeping troops in Iraq until the situation improves as opposed to setting an exit date for their evacuation (now at 70%/25%), and seven points on whether Bush has a clear plan for handling the war in Iraq (up to 63%/35%). I have searched the L.A. Times in vain for any mention of either the Washington Post poll or the most recent Gallup poll. Perhaps they were reported and I am just missing them? If negative polls were worth mentioning three times in one story, surely two separate polls with significant positives for Bush are worth mentioning somewhere . . . right?? Right???
