Another example of media bias in polling...

From this link:

The sample of speech-watchers in this poll was 45 percent Democratic and 18 percent Republican. Our best estimate of the number of Democrats in the voting age population as a whole indicates that the sample is about 8-10 points more Democratic than the population as a whole.​

It's sad, but you could write the headlines for the MSM before Obama even gave the speech.

Funny you should mention that!

From this blog:

After a listless summer during which his opponents dominated the health-care debate, President Obama used a dramatic appearance before Congress on Wednesday to seize control of the autumn, the season of decision for the initiative he has turned into the central test of his presidency.​

Did he! And when did Dionne write this conclusion that Obama seized control of the autumn — sometime in the dead of winter, and transported back through a time machine? Obama’s speech ended at about 9 pm Eastern time, and since this column is in the print edition, it had to have been cut pretty close to the midnight point where the Washington Post publishes its material on line. Not much time there for Dionne to gather evidence that Obama “seize[d] control of the autumn.”​
