UPDATE [11:15 a.m.]: On Friday morning, ABC, CBS, and NBC continued their blackout on the latest Gallup poll numbers showing President Obama's approval rating at an all-time low of 38 percent. The blackout also continued regarding any polls on the President and his job approval/disapproval ratings. The "big three" networks disinterest in the President's poll numbers continued despite multiple polls showing his approval rating below 40 percent and the gap between those who approve and disapprove of the job he's doing at over a dozen points.
Instead of covering these poll numbers as they did throughout the administration of President George W. Bush, the networks devoted plenty of time to stories that they deemed important. Both ABC's Good Morning America and NBC's Today covered a dog in Poland who was dressed up as a giant spider to scare unspecting passerbys as part of a prank. On CBS This Morning, the editor-in-chief of Cosmopolitan magazine joined the program and gushingly promoted the magazine's annoucement that they will endorse political candidates who support gay marriage, contraception, and abortion.

The evening newscasts for the major broadcast networks came and went on Thursday night and ABC, CBS, and NBC refused to cover a new poll from Gallup that showed President Barack Obama’s approval rating at an all-time low of 38 percent.
After the CBS Evening News made mention of a CBS News poll on Tuesday showing only 36 percent of Americans approving of how Obama was doing his job when it came to foreign policy, it reverted back to joining ABC and NBC in ignoring any and all polls concerning President Obama and his job performance.
The poll, which was taken over a two-day period from Monday to Wednesday, ties Obama’s previous all-time low in Gallup’s Daily Tracking Poll from October 2011. This most recent poll also reported that 56 percent of Americans disapprove of the way the President is doing his job and thus places the disparity between Obama’s approval and disapproval ratings at 16 percent.
According to Real Clear Politics, this is the fourth poll in the last month to place Obama’s approval rating below 40 percent (with the other three coming from Reuters/Ipsos polls).
