“Most Americans say President Obama lacks a clear plan to deal with the oil spill in the gulf, energy issues, and job creation, according to a new CBS News-New York Times poll. By a 2-to-1 margin, Americans say the President does not have a clear plan to handle the oil spill; 6 in 10 say his response to the disaster was too slow; and less than one-third of Americans have a lot of confidence in the President's ability to handle the crisis. Just 4 in 10 say the President has a clear plan for developing new sources of energy, and only one-third say he has a clear plan to create jobs. But for some reason, CBS News downplayed the results of their own poll. Monday's CBS Evening News failed to even mention these findings and instead focused on Americans' disapproval of BP's handling of the oil spill. CBS should give Americans all the facts, not conceal their own poll results to protect the President.”
