NBC's Gregory, Fox's Wallace did not challenge Rove's false polling claims
August 21, 2007 4:07 pm ET
SUMMARY: Karl Rove asserted
that Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton "enters the general election campaign with the
highest negatives of any candidate in the history of the Gallup Poll," and
added: "The only person who comes close is ... hers are at 49. The only
other candidate to come close was Al Gore with 34, I believe." In fact, Gallup's
polling results show that President Bush's unfavorability ratings as he entered
the 2004 general election campaign were consistently above what Rove claimed to
be "close[st]" to Clinton's unfavorability rating -- "Al Gore with 34" percent.
