Poll headlines

Have you all noticed that regardless the result, the headline and article on a poll is favorable for trump.

If Clinton had a lead, and regardless of the lead, the headlines are:

"Clintons lead shrinks"
"Trump closes in on Clinton"
"Clinton leads, but there are trouble signs"

While when trump is leading in a poll, even by one point, the headlines are:

"Trump leads in latest poll"
"Trump widens lead"
