Video cross-posted here at NewsBusters. The latest ABC News/Washington Post poll is out and it has some sobering news for Democrats with less than three weeks until the midterm elections. The poll found that President Obama’s approval rating has dropped to a new low of just 40 percent and the Democratic Party’s popularity is its weakest in 30 years. Despite ABC News declaring that this poll “has Democrats sweating” ABC’s Good Morning America gave the story a mere 17 seconds on its Wednesday morning broadcast as it buried it among a flurry of other news briefs.
