One Poll, Two very different reports on it....
Interesting enough, they are both by the AP news service..
Its a perfect, almost textbook, example of how the news can be biased when reporting things.

1/2 the United States will always see it one way, while the other 1/2 sees it the other.
I don't think it is always "equal" half's that see it one way and the other. Although we are approaching that level of division.
I don't think this is INTENTIONAL bias by the author, but the poll results were not as "Doom and Gloom" as the first article says it is.
I post it as an example of how bias sneaks in to every story.
