After Thursday’s network morning shows chose to ignore a finding in the latest Quinnipiac poll that voters most associate the word “liar” with Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton, ABC’s World News Tonight that evening and Friday’s NBC Today finally mentioned the survey. CBS continued to avoid the topic.
On Thursday’s World News Tonight, correspondent Cecilia Vega noted: “Today, a new poll showing voters have some choice words of their own to describe the candidates. Asked the first word that comes to mind about Clinton, people say ‘liar,’ ‘dishonest,’ ‘untrustworthy.’ For Trump, it's ‘arrogant,’ ‘blowhard,’ ‘idiot.’ And the number one word that comes to mind for Bush? ‘Bush.’”
