Typical media phenomenon. The media reports things are bad, then polls the people, then reports that the people think things are bad. Voila, issue swings whichever way the media chooses.

It's a BS tactic, and our Senators are either in favor of it (the tactic -OR- the underlying issue), or not bright enough to see through it.

I agree with the media phenomenon assertion. If it bleeds it leads, local, US or world news, it's all the same.
