Do you think policies proposed by President Biden will move the country in right direction/wrong direction?

Right direction 71%
Wrong direction 29%

End snip.

Put that in your balloon, MTG, and float it.

2. Well...

... I was wrong... Biden wasn't in my Top 5 when the last primaries started. But we picked the right one... now, he's #1. It was a great speech!

3. Oh my!

I would have thought in a sane world that was entirely possible but I never thought in this country, at this time, after the last wreck and its hypnotic grasp of people, this was possible. I hoped after taking a breath after that incredible speech last night that it would help but I never thought I would see this.

4. Down to the usual diehard 30%.

9. Down to the 30% who have had a politically induced lobotomy.

12. the deplorably, unreachable, willfully lost.

[CaptainTruth]

14. Yep. A Democrat could perform miracles & the brainwashed 30% wouldn't support it.

Theyve been brainwashed by relentless right-wing messaging (propaganda & lies).

[Cracklin Charlie]

5. That is a big number.

[MANative]

6. Stunning numbers which bode well for 2024

Joe is at his best when he's in a scrum!

[AllaN01Bear]

7. yes!!! din ding.

[Emile]

8. Wow

[liberalla]

10. That is some welcome news! Wonderful!

[Sympthsical]

11. On a whim, I actually read the poll

I'm weird like that.

Trump's numbers were similar. 2019 has a net positive of 77%. 2018 was 70% net positive. The highest number in the poll's history is President Obama 2009 with 92% net positive. President Obama scored highest generally. Bush showed numbers similar to Trump and President Biden.

Trump's 2019 right/wrong direction was 71/27%. He did worse in 2018 with 62/36.

When you dig down, all the numbers generally go along with approval/disapproval. If you like the president, you like the president. If you don't, you're more critical.

Take away from the data: people who like the President giving the speech are much more likely to be the ones watching it (look at the comparisons).

So, about as expected.

13. Four More Years!

[Midnight Writer]

15. Better yet, that number increased by about 20% AFTER the speech. And by 26% among independents.
