CBS Buries Results of Own Poll Showing Poor Ratings for Obama, Democrats Ahead of Midterms
NewsBusters. ^ | October 8, 2014 | Curtis Houck

Wednesday night, the CBS Evening News with Scott Pelley made no mention of the results from the latest CBS News poll that gave President Obama and Democrats poor marks ahead of the November 4 midterm elections on issues ranging from the economy to ISIS to terrorism to who voters are most likely to vote for.

Regarding the midterm elections, Republicans find themselves ahead of Democrats on both a generic ballot and specific issues. Republicans have a six point lead against Democrats overall (49 percent to 43 percent with those leaning left or right, 46 percent to 40 percent without) and a five point lead who voters would like most to see takeover the Senate (47 percent to 42 percent). Independents sided with the GOP by a full 30 points over Democrats (57 percent to 27 percent).

When it came to who voters trust to do a better job on the economy, foreign policy, and terrorism, the picture is the same. On the topic of terrorism, the GOP holds an massive lead of 21 points over Democrats at 52 percent to 32 percent and then advantages of 9 and 11 percentage points on the economy and foreign policy, respectively.

What??? I’m shocked, just shocked.

CBS news conducted their own polls, and are NOT reporting the results of their polling on the CBS Evening News?? OMG... What is this world coming to?????

Back in the day, they used to frequently report sagging poll numbers for Bush and Republicans. Apparently that sort of thing is news worth reporting. But bad news for Obama and Democrats must be buried. Got it........

Beautiful. As long as they don’t talk about how bad they’re doing, the leeches will think all is well and stay home on election day.

Good point.

Is there anything Obama has done, anything at all, which has been a success?

Some liberals point to the raid to get Bin Laden as a big success. But considering the state of the world, it’s now clear that Islamo fascism and Islamic terror is far greater than just Al Qaeda or Bin Laden.

If we had honest journalism in this Country, the sheeple would’ve had the 0bama regime goons in GITMO years ago. I doubt that even when they all start dropping dead from ebola and enterovirus they will be intelligent enough to put two and two together that it is all the result of 0bammy’s policies.

A 6 point lead for the GOP is not enough to offset the Rats voter fraud initiatives like motor voter, same day registration, no voter ID, etc.

That is brought up here where liberals didn't get near the bump as they expected.

Its a couple years old but true none the less. You fight on the battleground that is, not the battleground you want.

They may be thinking that the bad news for dems will inspire the Indies to go GOP because wishy-washies tend to go with the likely winner.

There is no ‘news media’ in America. There is only a Ministry of Propaganda, pledged to further the cause of leftists.

Polls are all over the place as they are in 2012. I think after that disaster that we not depend on polls so much and just get people out to vote. That is all that matters.

There is WMD proof. How about the generally unmentioned sprayers and precursor chemicals we sold them.
