At the risk of reviving the conversation from last night, I think there's some interesting information here about the State of the Union.

https://www.cnn.com/2024/03/08/politics/cnn-poll-biden-sotu-speech-reaction/index.html

More than 6 in 10 Americans who watched President Joe Bidens State of the Union address had a positive reaction to the speech, according to a CNN Poll conducted by SSRS, with a smaller 35% reacting very positively.

That pattern of widespread but tempered positivity mirrors the reception for Bidens speeches in previous years. Last year, 72% of viewers reacted positively, with 34% saying their reaction was very positive the lowest very positive number in CNNs polling dating back to 1998. In 2022, 71% had a positive reaction, with 41% saying their reaction was very positive.

As in the past two years, Democratic speech watchers reactions to Biden were almost universally positive, with about two-thirds of independents who tuned in offering a positive reaction. Roughly three-quarters of Republicans who watched this years address offered a negative review, up from about 6 in 10 for Bidens past two State of the Union addresses.

Polarization continues.

Americans who watched on Thursday said, 62% to 38%, that the policies Biden proposed will move the US in the right direction, rather than the wrong direction. In a survey conducted before the speech, just 45% of those same people said Bidens policies would move the US in the right direction.

Following the speech, 31% of those who watched said they have a lot of confidence in Bidens ability to carry out his duties as president, 28% that they have some confidence, and 41% that they have no real confidence. Thats a slight uptick from a survey conducted in the days before the speech, when 25% of those same people expressed a lot of confidence in his ability, 27% some confidence, and 48% none at all.

Much of Bidens improvement on this score came among political independents who watched the speech. Before the speech, 51% of independents expressed at least some confidence in Bidens ability to carry out his duties, and that rose to 68% among the same group of independents after the speech. Perceptions of Bidens ability to carry out the duties of the presidency did not change significantly among either Democrats or Republicans who tuned in.

At least there's positive trends correlated with the speech though.
