Sensational Headline Alert

Whether you are flipping through the Rocky Mountain News or reading the site on the internet, this headline, AP Poll: More Voters See Bush as Arrogant, looks bad for Bush. If you went a little farther into the article, past the lead, you would see that slightly more voters feel more optimistic about the future with Bush as President than with John Kerry.

But go to the actual poll results and you'll see that there is an 8 point spread on the arrogance question and a 6 point spread on the optimism question. So I guess the difference between 6 and 8 is 6 is slightly more and 8 grabs a headline.

UPDATE: Not exactly what I would expect from ABC News, but more objective than the RMN: ABCNEWS.com : AP Poll: Bush Seen Decisive, Kerry Smart
