Despite highlighting the latest NBC News/SurveyMonkey poll on Tuesday’s Today, showing Hillary Clinton’s lead over Donald Trump shrinking, the network morning show skipped the most damaging findings for the Democratic candidate. According the survey, 82% of voters thought it was inappropriate for Clinton to use a private e-mail server and 56% said they disagreed with the FBI’s decision not to indict the former Secretary of State.
Rather than cite those stunning statistics during a report on the Clinton campaign, correspondent Andrea Mitchell only briefly noted the poll at the end of the segment, and then only the horse race match-up numbers: “[Bernie] Sanders’s endorsement is a welcome plus for Clinton, especially right now. In our new NBC News/SurveyMonkey online poll, she only has a three-point lead over Donald Trump today.”
