CBS News Poll: Limbaugh Has Higher Approval than Pelosi
NewsBusters.org - Exposing Liberal Media Bias —
“Limbaugh’s Favorable Rating: 19 Percent,” shouts the headline at the top of CBSNews.com tonight. A look, however, at the PDF of the full CBS News poll results, posted at 6:30 PM EDT Tuesday, pegs House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's favorable rating a point lower at 18 percent -- within the margin of error, but evidence Limbaugh is no less popular than the leader of congressional Democrats. (Friday's CBS Evening News highlighted President Obama's 62 percent approval level and a few other results about the bailouts, but didn't mention ...

Republicans Forgot About Onomatopoeia When They Named Michael Steele RNC Chair
DownWithTyranny! —
... To make matters worse, Steele can't find a suitable finance chair willing to work for him. "It's a funny thing about money," one prominent bipartisan donor told us. "The donor community doesn't trust Michael and it has nothing to do with [the wildly popular] Rush Limbaugh or abortion or ideology. He has a dark cloud hanging over his head from his Maryland campaign. That has to be addressed before he can seriously expect people to write checks. How many people do you think want to see their money going to his sister?" ...

Rush Runs The Right, Thank God
Oliver Willis —
Follow him over the cliff, lemmings.
Over the past few weeks, the White House has been casting right-wing talk show host Rush Limbaugh as the head of the Republican Party, and based on a new CBS News poll, it appears they may be onto something: According to the poll, Limbaugh’s favorable rating stands at just 19 percent, a full 43 points lower than President Obama’s.
I’m sure that 19% maps perfectly on the dead-enders who supported Bush all the way to the end, as well as the Tea Bag party attendees. It’s the same element. ...

Cheney chooses Rush Limbaugh over Colin Powell
AMERICAblog News| A great nation deserves the truth —
80% of voters have a favorable view of Colin Powell. 19% have a favorable view of Rush Limbaugh. So, of course, Cheney picks Limbaugh, who is about as popular as the Republican party right now. From ThinkProgress: CHENEY: Well, if I had to choose — in terms of being a Republican — I’d go with Rush Limbaugh, I think. My take on it was that Colin had already left the party. I didn’t know he was still a Republican.And that's why we want Cheney on television as much as possible. Keep digging the GOP's own grave, Dick. Keep ...
'Thought to be relatively unpopular'
Political Animal —
... radio voices. I can't think of Obama launching any kind of meaningful attacks against any of these guys, at least in public. The real gem here, though, is the notion that guys like Limbaugh are "thought to be relatively unpopular with non-movement Americans," as if it were possible that Rush is actually a widely respected public figure. There's no great mystery here. Limbaugh really is widely loathed by the American mainstream. I've seen poll putting his favorable rating as low as 19% . (Indeed, one of the oddities of the past couple of days is that Cheney and Limbaugh are ...
Conservative Talk Radio in the Dock
The Corner on National Review Online —
... The administration hopes that it can convince the public that these guys are the leaders of the GOP at the moment. Since these guys are thought to be relatively unpopular with non-movement Americans, this holds all sorts of political promise. I love the delicate formulation of the last sentence: Guys like Limbaugh are thought to be relatively unpopular with non-movement Americans . In fact, they're known to be extremely unpopular with Americans as a whole . Limbaugh has a 19 percent favorable rating (versus 40 percent unfavorable), including 14 percent favorability ...
