Will the media ever report about how low in the polling Republicans have sunk?

[Swede]

The Democratic leaders do have terrible polling numbers, Nancy Pelosi has a 34% approval rating in DKOS's new poll and Harry Reid has a 31% approval rating, but let's take a look at the Republican leadership, shall we?



Mitch McConnell is polling at an 18% approval rating. That's eighteen percent. John Boehner is polling at 12% approval rating. Just think about that one. And it doesn't take much to make him cry. Mitch and Boehner are viewed less favorably than Dick Cheney was during the dark days of the Bush administration. Why don't we hear about that on teevee?

1. What are their disapprovals?

I don't doubt that John Boehner is polling at 12% but I would bet long money that his disapproval ain't 88%.

Nobody knows who he is.

My national approval rating is less than 1%. Does that mean I am more hated than Dick Cheney?

The comparison to Cheney is such bullshit it negates what is a good question about reportage of bad pug numbers.

2. No.

This has been another edition of short answers to obvious questions.

Longer answer is that the popular media have their script, and they love it: Obama's sagging poll numbers. Ignore the fact that Dumbya would have killed for Obama's 50%+ approval ratings; after a relentless month of lies and vitriol, Obama's poll numbers have dropped slightly more than the margin of error. That's the script you'll see, because that's the story the media like.
