Every day this week, talk show hosts and radio commentators have been saying that the public blames Obama for the sequester. They are obviously referring to the above poll results.
Consider these headlines:
Obama poll numbers take a post-sequester dive
Sequester Blowback: Obama Plummets to 43%
Poll: Obama’s Not Winning The Sequester Fight
Obama Suddenly Not Winning the Sequester Fight
Poll: Obama approval drops seven points on sequester worries
FIRST SEQUESTER VICTIM! OBAMA’S JOB APPROVAL DIVES
Holy Cow! Just look at those headlines! It’s almost as if the poll didn’t even ASK the corresponding question about the approval rating for Republicans in Congress.
…and naturally, we would have preferred it if they hadn’t.
This is why we have added some small highlighting arrows to the above graph, to make sure that you are looking at the correct part of the graph, and do not succumb to liberal bias!!!
