the president, the poll, and the NYT

You wouldn't know it if your only news source were the leading newspaper in the United States, but the Quinnipiac University poll yesterday showed that President Obama has hit a new low in popularity, with only four out of ten respondents believing he deserves a second term. That's surprising enough, but what really makes me wonder is why I must turn to the blogosphere for that information. I did a Google search yesterday for quinnipiac poll obama and the only newspaper that turned up was the Kansas City Star. This morning, I see that the New York Daily News and some London papers have chimed in. Perhaps it's only that the New York Times comes to work later? Blue skies! -- Dan Ford
