Dan Calabrese notices a scolding tone coming from the Associated Press in reporting its latest polling. It headlines the report by noting that “a grouchy public [is] sticking with Obama,” having seen a 54% job approval rating in its survey — but some bad numbers on the issues. Does the AP report those falling levels of support as a consequence of Barack Obama doing a poor job? No, as emphases from Dan and myself show:
The public grew slightly more dispirited on a range of matters over the past month, including war and the economy, continuing the slippage that has occurred since Obama took office, the latest Associated Press-GfK poll shows.
This comes at a time when he is trying to revive the struggling economy, considering sending more troops to the 8-year-old Afghanistan war, muscling a health care reform overhaul through Congress and hoping to push through other ambitious measures like legislation focused on climate change.

Grouchy?
First I was bitter - now I’m grouchy?
Lets see how the Ass. Press likes it when Obama turns on them like he did Fox News.
We’ll stop being ‘grouchy’ when the press stops using its influence and power to help install rank amateurs as President that have no business being President.
You are mellowing. Yeah, as long as they aren't grouchy when AP goes out of business, I won't be.
I’m not grouchy... I’m full of rage, hate and have blood in my eye.
Other than that, I’m in a good mood.
Americans to AP, catch up with the train!
Obama hates employed people.
Comrade Liz from the All Propaganda outlet peddling another phony poll from a far left German PR firm .
AP seems to be searching farther and farther to the East to find the best far left propaganda polling group to help peddling the Obama talking points .
LIZ Sodita has always been a very dedicated Democrat with a press pass.
I think it time a weathy GOPer buy AP and just shut it down. Its a very dangerous Dem party propaganda outlet !
Grouchy, bitter, clinging to my guns and religion?
Someone better watch out, they are getting on
the fightin side of me.
Rush pointed out this paragraph in the AP article at the start of his show today:
People were gloomier about the direction of the country than in October. They disapproved of Obama’s handling of the economy a bit more than before. And, perhaps most striking for the commander in chief, more people have lost confidence in Obama on Iraq and Afghanistan over the last month. Overall, there’s a malaise about the state of the nation. …
Sorry socialists, that propaganda doesn't fly here...
Lets the see the breakdown of how many dems they sampled vs Republicans...Rasmussen has Zero at 46-48% steady for the last few months.
The new sandwich spread of the poor. Goes well with cheese and chicken salad.
Thanks for the ping!
Americans to AP....
Mind your own business.
FU AP, I’m far past grouchy. As a matter of fact I find that I clean my weapons 4/5 times per week, and laugh out loud at times.;-}
I wonder if AP or the drive bys think that is normal?
