Poll Finds Need for Better Reporting on Obama

Americans want better reporting on the Obama administration’s policies and practices on the economy and health care in the coming year, according to a new Gallup poll conducted last week for the First Amendment Center and the Newseum. The national survey was conducted Jan. 20-21, one year after President Obama took office.

Among the survey results, released today: "Overall, 40% of those responding said the economy was the area in which they would 'most like to see the news media do a better job of reporting on the policies and practices of the Obama administration,' followed by 30% who said health care. Better reporting regarding the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan was cited by 12%, and on the war on terror, 11%." Complete survey results and methodology are available HERE. -- Joe Strupp

  1. Nice that the poll differentiated between "war on terror" and "wars in Iraq and Afghanistan," as Iraq didn't have terrorists before the U.S. invaded.
