NY Times, CNN's Malveaux repeated claim that terrorism is a "winning" and "strong" issue for GOP, despite polls showing otherwise

SUMMARY: In their news reports on President Bush's signing of the Military Commissions Act, The New York Times reported that the war on terrorism is a "winning issue for Republicans," and CNN's Suzanne Malveaux uncritically reported that the Bush administration believes national security is "a strong issue for Republicans" heading into the midterm elections. In fact, recent polling shows that more voters prefer Democrats to handle the issue of combating terrorism.
