Poll: Obama Worse than Bush on Civil Liberties

[Revmitchell]

A new CNN poll released Monday generated a lot of attention on the dramatic drop in President Obama's approval ratings. The top-line approval numbers were not the most troubling news for the White House, however. Obama now polls much worse than President Bush did on handling government surveillance and protecting civil liberties.

I want Obama's numbers to be worse but the poll is meaningless.

There is only one data point for each President--Bush in May 2006; Obama in June 2013. Not sure what was happening on the homefront regarding alleged illegal search and seizures in May 2006 (I suspect nothing) but it shouldn't be surprising that a couple of weeks after it is learned that Obama is seizing millions of Americans phone records that his approval rating for handling surveillance would be low.

[Edited to add: Polls are not news.]

No they aren't but they come in handy when your job (msm) is to herd the sheople.

Polls are news and there is no getting around that.
