News Dems Can Use
Dems like to govern by poll. Here’s one:
WASHINGTON (CNN) — More than three-quarters of Americans who watched President Bush’s State of the Union address had a positive reaction to it …
Forty-one percent of 370 adults who watched the speech said they had a “very positive” reaction to it. Another 37 percent said their response was “somewhat positive.” …
Of those responding, 32 percent identified themselves as Republican, 31 percent as Democrats and 36 percent as independent.
Sixty-seven percent of speech watchers said they believe Bush’s policies will move the country in the right direction …
Meanwhile, 53 percent said they believe the speech will lead to more cooperation between Bush and the Democrats who control Congress. Forty-three percent said it will lead to more disagreements.
Among the speech viewers, 51 percent said they were very or somewhat confident that the United States will achieve its goals in Iraq. After Bush’s 2004 speech, the number was 71 percent.
A poll released Monday showed 63 percent of Americans disapprove of the way Bush is handling his job, and 34 percent approve — his lowest job rating on the eve of a State of the Union address.

Thanks for posting this piece on the poll Jules. How long those numbers will last will be the question as the MSNM and the DEMS keep hammering away.
Great site too. Glad I discovered it.

Didn’t you mean “News Dems won’t use”?
