<<<What is going on? Is the press still in love with the President, or am I simply listening to a small minority of the public. What is going on here?>>>

John, you've already answered your own question. You see, the dominant media has long been apologists for the administration because quite simply he supports many of their pet issues i.e. abortion, gay rights, attacks on big tabacco, and a whole list of others. You have to remember these are people who for the most part would pick Arafat over Netanyahu (sp?) to be Prime Minister over Israel and likewise would pick Vladimir Lenin (if he were alive today) over any conservative. Now their friend is in deep trouble and the only thing left for them to do to maintain any respectability is to push their support of the President on the American people. The only way possible to do this is through polling. As I have said polling can be skewed in many ways. A poll of a thousand people means just that, a poll of a thousand responses. But you can poll two thousand and pick one thousand of the responses, claim a poll of a thousand people and you haven't lied one bit. Polls are nothing more than a way of creating propaganda. After all can they really be claimed as news? And if they aren't news then what else can they be but propaganda?
