USA Today, Shut Down Poll: Everything that is wrong with the Media [View all]

Which party do Americans think won government shutdown negotiations? Republicans, new poll says

Okay, the Party that held all the cards got the most. Is that what this is about? Is it a sports event? Do they ask what Americans think about what the Republicans are doing to Social Programs and Healthcare? Are they asking if they want the GOP to win this confrontation? No they just want to portray the Repukes as winners and the Dems as losers.

Disgusting.
