Does the Associated Press report false information?

Recently the AP reported false support for the health care but this latest report seems the most egregious. While NBC, ABC, CBS, CNN, USA Today, Fox %26amp; MSNBC is reporting Obama's popularity had dropped to the lowest of any president at this point in his presidency, the AP is reporting something entirely different.





The AP headline link at Yahoo says, ';Poll shows Obama's popularity holding steady at 56 percent'; and the AP article says, ';The latest Associated Press-Gfk poll shows the president's popularity holding steady, with 56 percent of those polled approving of the way he's taking care of the country's business.';





See this AP Poll:

However, here is what the rest of the media is reporting:

You can not trust the news ..Does the Associated Press report false information?
As in any type of news gathering, there will be errors. But with polling, it depends on what service is being used in the report and the questions posed to respondents. Remember that AP is a wire service, with its stories being used by other media outlets, so the polling data may be its own and not tied into the material used by TV networks and/or newspapers.
good for economy they are not pirating each other data , but conducting 'INDEPENDENT ' surveys to reach conclusions
All the time.
