I wish they would stop over dramatizing

Pew Research has issued a poll on the public's views of the economy. Pew used the headline "Pessimistic Public doubts Effectiveness of Stimulus, TARP". In the poll, pew asked respondents if they thought that the Obama stimulus package helped the job situtation, the express reason for that package. By two to one the public says no. Only Pew could say that the public "doubts effectiveness" of the stimulus. A clearer headline would be Public Rejects Idea that Stimulus had Good Effect. Of course, while more accurate, that headline would conflict with the basic liberal narrative. Accordingly, Pew has to understate its findings.
