A prominent news agency protests the BlueCollar blog on no-confidence in Obama.

(Didn’t take ’em long – Elapsed time, from ‘zero-to-blog protest’…13 minutes.)

They point out (correctly) that Congress has the highest ‘no-confidence’ ranking.

While never pretending to be a polling agency, BlueCollar notes there are 100 Senators and 435 Congressmen, but only one President…and in our humble opinion…

…Gallup (and most other pollsters)…and a fawning media…ignore that fact.

A polled respondent has 1 Congressman, and 2 Senators representing him; he may be very/somewhat confident of his politicians…but not so with the other 532 in Congress.

But, every polled respondent has only ONE president.

BlueCollar believes, to keep a ‘no-confidence’ vote for Congress in context, a follow-on query MUST include questions regarding the respondent’s confidence in their own congressman; otherwise any response is ambiguous at best…and deceptive at worst.

Considering that every respondent has multiple political parties and hundreds of other people to complain about in Congress, it’s no wonder that body takes a beating in polls.

It’s a HUGE moment when The One takes a beating, and tragic that the media yawns.

Of course such media games will continue…

…we just wish a few responsible groups would note the deception sooner.

Whine all they will, the media can’t hide that Americans see this president as #2.

(Pun intended)
