The Media - Reporting on the Polls
Most of this story is about current polls; however, the author notices that some polls get more attention than others.

Nathan Tabor writes at Townhall.com:
"When the President's approval rating sinks, the American news media display all the signs of obsession, repeating the statistic over and over again. Yet, when public opinion of Congress takes a downturn, we barely hear one word from the big three network news anchors.
It's time for media pundits to recognize the fact that, as far as politics is concerned, Pennsylvania Avenue should be a two-way street. It's high time that the Speaker of the House is held accountable for Congress' actions—or inactions. Speaker Pelosi should be held to the same standard as the man who occupies the White House. And I'd hazard a guess that, if Gallup polled Americans on that point, the vast majority would agree."
