The liberal journalists at MSNBC have been quite enamored with Texas gubernatorial candidate Wendy Davis, constantly promoting her Democratic campaign. Yet, a new poll showing her trailing by 14 points has gone unmentioned on the network. Even more interesting, Republican candidate Greg Abbott is beating Davis even among women, 49-41. The Public Policy Polling survey was released on Tuesday. Also, it should be pointed out, PPP is a Democratic polling firm.

In the past, MSNBC hosts have attempted to spin bad news for Davis. In January, Andrea Mitchell gently explained, "[She's] being forced to answer media reports down there that she had slightly altered her resume." In July of 2013, the journalist became one of her early cheerleaders, prompting, "Are you thinking about statewide office? Are you thinking about running for Governor?"

I think that’s why PPP did the poll. They know she can’t win...in their view every available dollar needs to go to a senate race.

Anyone who would consider MSnbc an unbiased source of news should have their head examined.

"She will win a majority of the population centers and all of south Texas, so nobody needs to be counting their chickens yet. It ain’t over till the fat abortionist squeals."
