Templating issue (with spaces?)

Working on a template for detecting what is on my roku device. I have a larger template but boiled down my issue to the following.

The two lines below should who the source and then use is_state_attr to check the source.

{{ state_attr("media_player.bedroom","source") }}   
{{ is_state_attr("media_player.bedroom","source",'Roku') }}

The output when the source is Roku, as expected is:

Roku
True

However, I turn on the Roku and my cable box and it fails:

{{ state_attr("media_player.bedroom","source") }}   
{{ is_state_attr("media_player.bedroom","source",'Cable box') }}

returns

Cable box   
False

For some reason the comparison to the word Cable box seems to fail.
