Brenday Nyhan ponders the media’s blackout of Bush’s low poll numbers. It’s as if they had double standards for Democratic and Republican presidents.
Imagine that.

Weak effort by Nyhan. He merely assserts with no evidence that there were a slew of poll stories on Clinton. Has somebody counted the stories for each? Even if there is anecdotal evidence of stories on Clinton, were they second term stories? Were the stories negative re Clinton or positive? If there were stories, were they impeachment by-product stories? All of this means is that you just have to take his word for it.

I agree, Dugger. I don’t remember stories about negative poll ratings on Clinton, though I do remember lots of stories about the Administration in general disarray.
