[See NewsBusters for more.]  The journalists on Good Morning America, Thursday, eagerly touted a new poll finding that “most the country doesn’t like” Ted Cruz and Donald Trump. What did they ignore from their own survey? A majority of the country isn't fond of Hillary Clinton either. Reporter Jon Karl trumpeted, “This poll looks at the Republican candidates and shows that the most of the country simply doesn't like them.” Karl thundered, “Look at Ted Cruz. He is now at 53 percent unfavorability. That is the highest unfavorability he has seen throughout this campaign.” The correspondent derided, “He is growing more unpopular by the day.” Sounds pretty bad, right? But the PDF for the poll explained, “The leading Democratic candidate also is under water. Hillary Clinton was seen unfavorably by 52 percent in an ABC/Post poll last month.”
