Katie was up to her MSM tricks, calling out Mary for sighing in response to Couric's citing of W's weak poll numbers, and concluding with a maudlin reference to US casualties. But Matt was certainly in a more objective frame of mind.

I keep reading over and over again about "Bush's historically low poll numbers" in the MSM, but I haven't seen them flogging their favorite polls (the media polls that were showing him in the low to mid 30's) ever since the White House started firing back at it's critics. That's suspicious when you consider they were polling practically every single hour while Bush was doing his punching bag routine.

I'm guessing they're using weeks-old polls because the newer media ones are showing what Rasmussen (the only pollster I pay any attention to) is picking up on - a small but definite uptick in Bush's job approval ratings.
