It's going to be an interesting week in Washington. The legacy media, uncritical as reptiles, seemed to be to tempted last week to swallow whole the GOP's claims that the wind of public opinion is behind their back. Now, a more recent Gallup poll suggests otherwise.
The Washington Post looks at the new poll in Gallup: Public Backs Obama in Stimulus Fight. Those commies at the WSJ reports Gallup: Obama, Congressional Democrats Have Advantage on Stimulus.
Politico's Glenn Thrush observes in 58 percent fault Hill GOP on stimulus:
Gallup is out with some stimulus numbers that should provide some comfort (and cover) for Dems and credence to the argument that GOP opposition to the package is basically base-massage.
Fifty-eight percent of Americans disapprove of the way House/Senate Republicans are playing this -- a 16 percent higher disapproval rating than Dems got -- and 33 points higher than Obama's negatives.
One poll isn't the story, but this seems to cut significantly against the Dems-in-trouble storyline.
