They never do when a Dem is in office. They would also be reporting how great the war is going. :lol:

Great point. Approval ratings are always available and always newsworthy in an election year regardless of who is in office.

They will bury it on page 100. If you want to find the approval numbers of a Dem you will have to find it yourself because you will not see it on the news.

My recollection is that in both 1996 and 2000, even though Gore was running, that Clinton's approval rating was a popular news story.

Lindaloo - at least I was trying to show information on how the "liberal" media was impartial. Looked to me like they reported on both the good and bad to me, but that's just my opinion.

Garrett - there's alot of partisan politics here. You just have to be on the "right" side.
