"Immediately, it became apparent that this was just another "Oh lawd...we'ze gone die" pieces. So, I pumped the brakes, went directly to poll and found that they tremendously buried a WHOLE BUNCH OF POTENTIAL LEADS.

Why?

Because THEIR POLL found doggone good news news for democrats!

Aside: Don't you hate it when bloggers just randomly capitalize stuff?

Okay, so since Politico is hiding the good stuff, I'll report...you decide.

1. Obama Approval: 47%

2. Democrats Approval: 38%

3. Republican Approval: 30%

4. House Preference: Dems 41/36 (Say what)

5. Obamacare - Keep as is or with small modifications: 58%

6. Which party closer to big business and Wall Street? GOP 39-9%

7. How much confidence do you have in the government's handling of Ebola? 61%"

4. And then the LA Times runs a front page column today

All about how Latinos are mad at President Obama and won't vote.

Another of those articles, telling all of us Dems that we are doomed to lose the Senate and White House, so don't bother to vote.

5. The media is providing cover for Republican gerrymandering and voter suppression....

That's because the media was infiltrated years ago after Watergate and Vietnam brought down Nixon.

6. Never trust the media's "[name]'s poll numbers are up/down" stories

The media has been doing these games with Obama's poll numbers since before he took office. They were so eager to run "Obama's numbers are down" stories they ran stories comparing the question of "do you approve of how Obama is handling his transition to president" to poll questions of "do you approve how Obama is doing as president".

They also ran stories about Obama's numbers being down when they were actually up since their last "Obama's numbers are down again" story, by simply looking at Obama polling numbers from farther away that his current poll numbers were still lower then.
