It should also be pointed out that CNN and the mass media - often referred to as the "media wing of the Democratic Party" - now use polls as editorials. They decide, and then find a poll to say it.
All recent (since WWII) presidents have had low points in the "polls" - all as low as Bush with one exception, I think.
George Bush #41 had a "poll" rating above 90% shortly after the start of the of the first Gulf War, and lost the next election to Hillary's husband.

I'm not about to call it a conspiracy or bias. I do attribute to the CNN/USA Today/Gallup Pole a great deal of validity. As to why they ran it? A President's approval rating has always been newsworthy no matter who the president was. When it was Clinton, his sagging numbers (and the subsequent rebound due to his administration's masterful handling of his perjury) were very newsworthy.
Conspiracy though? The media wing? Surely not.
Is there bias in the news? Certainly no more with CNN than with Fox (who doesn't even try to be covert about parroting Republican talking points).
If you want to further people's respect for conservatives and our ideas, please dispense with the black helicopter rhetoric. It's tired.
