CNN post SOTU poll: among political independents who watched Biden’s speech, the share who thought president’s proposals would move the country in the right direction rose from 37% to 68%

And positive reactions to the speech aren’t just because Biden supporters were the only ones watching. The belief his policies would move the country in the right direction rose 32 points *among viewers who initially disapproved of Biden*

42. Can someone please tell me what K&R means?

🧐

[spanone]

43. It kicks the thread and recommends the thread.

[The_Zephyr]

46. Thanks. :) But what does "Kicking a Thread" do?

[spanone]

47. By replying to the thread, you add your name and support to it...

A reply boosts the thread so it gives it a 'kick'

[The_Zephyr]

49. Ah! Thanks again. :)

[tblue37]

53. A kick pushes the thread to the top of the forum page so it will be seen.

Threads can quickly disappear if they don't get replies, so even a simple K&R can save a thread from oblivion.

2. Watch for his poll numbers vs. Trump to increase by a few points this month

4. Hallelujah and amen! Some people are finally seeing the truth.

[Kennah]

25. I completely agree, but anyone who's been paying attention would know everything he said.

I get that people have lives, but one needs to pay attention if one remotely cares or occasionally votes.

[ananda]

26. I know, right? I'm often asking myself...

how could people not know?

[Kennah]

29. Remember that half of the population has an IQ score below the average

[Hermit-The-Prog]

37. "How could people not know?" Because their tv machine rarely shows the real Joe.

It gives them punditry, a horse race, and age, probably to keep them from focusing on real issues and the real candidates. This creates reasons for more campaign ad dollars.

8. They finally saw the real Biden, unedited by the media. Repub. and Independents are surprised. Dems. are not.

[llmart]

14. Even before Biden entered the room...

on ABC with David Muir and his cohort, I heard twice from them " Trump ahead of Biden in the polls". I usually like David Muir, but they didn't have to lead into the speech with that nonsense.

[underpants]

27. Exactly

Hillary’s numbers shot up when she was on herself (debates, convention, etc)

[W_HAMILTON]

44. This!

[getagrip_already]

9. Give them a few days....

They will find a new way to corrode his image and make the good look bad, and give credit for the good to the ass that had nothing to do with it.

Cynical? Sure. It comes from experience.

But I'm loving the glow of the moment.

11. President "Fighting Joe" Biden was STRONG last night!

He told the story of our recovery very well, the one that the media has been failing to tell...

And the Republican response was weak, whiny and cry-babyish---
telling a false tale of misery that is completely opposed to the actual economic facts!

What the hell was that, anyway? I hear tell that even some Republicans were disappointed with the over-wrought manner of the attempt by Senator "whiny Katy" to induce tears in the audience in her SOTU response...

Get the girl a whole box of tissues!!!

[area51]

12. Way to go, Joe!

[paleotn]

13. And remember, Biden isn't done yet. Not by a long shot

It’s dark Brandon through November!

[ffr]

15. I see this as an indicator of how badly the media has done their job in reporting the data, Bidenomics!

CNN and cable news talking heads are able to hurt a president's changes by 32 points, by playing horse race both-sides-do-it he-said she-said news reporting.

None of what Biden spoke of was out of the ordinary or beyond expectations for your average DU'er. We know Biden. We know democrats. Democrats get policy done, republicans are all side-show do-nothings who work for America's adversaries and the uber rich.

I hope someone in the media sees what the polling showed from last night. The media is hurting our country's chances of remaining a democracy by doing everything in their power to level the playing field, kneecap Biden with as much negative news slant as possible to keep an otherwise blowout election from occurring. It's 2016 all over again.

50. Biden's presidency is definitely the

Story never told.

[llmart]

16. I approve of this message!

I'll gladly K&R this post.

[Wounded Bear]

17. Obviously, that's a spike in the numbers. The interesting thing will be how long it lasts...

RW media will obviously be emphasizing the few times he stumbled verbally, but if Pres Biden retains even two thirds of that spike long term, it gives him something to build on going forward. With some good work on the ground, it's blue tsunami time in November.

[Uncle Joe]

18. Kicked and recommended

Thanks for the thread demmiblue

[Martin68]

19. Way to go, President Biden! He rose to the occasioned showed the doubters what he's made of.

Who could imagine Donald Trump, or any Republican for that matter, giving a speech like this? Factual, relevant, positive, and well-delivered.

[luvallpeeps]

20. Ha!

It’s no wonder they tried to figure out a way to stop it. Losers got nothin’.

[sheshe2]

21. And there it is! 💙

[peggysue2]

22. And this is why the MAGAs did not want Biden delivering that speech last night

Or why Trump was screaming about immediate debates. This is the power of the Bully Pulpit and Joe Biden knocked it out of the park.

I think we'll refer to this in the future as:

The Great Reset.

Congrats, Mr. President. You so deserve the accolades and upswing in approval numbers.

Let's get this thing done!

[Celerity]

23. Super news!! GOTV!! Kick MAGAt traitor arse!!

[JudyM]

38. Super seeing Sweden representing last night, too!

[Celerity]

39. Ja, det var fantastiskt!

[JudyM]

52. That was such a resoundingly positive, uplifting moment, brought the fantastiskt news to life.

There’s a party going on in many hearts in the world about this.

24. They don't want a dictator, they want a strong man against anyone

Trying to kill our Democracy. Republicans are going to lose for decades.

28. Dark Brandon delivered the "No Malarkey" SOTU!

34. Bingo

And Welcome to DU!

40. Thank you!

30. A simple binary choice.

Do you want the guy who rants endlessly about hurting the people he hates, or do you want the guy who works to help all the people of the country he loves.

[orangecrush]

31. Great news

Unless you're a MAGAT

[elleng]

32. This is a GREAT day!!!

[republianmushroom]

33. The "old guy" kicked some ass, last night.

Orange ass.

[calimary]

35. He sure as hell did!

I'm already favorably predisposed toward Joe Biden. But last night just cast that in bronze and set it up in the town square!

Joe Did Great!

[Hermit-The-Prog]

36. Strangely, people prefer the real Joe Biden over the caricature put forward by M$M.

[BunnyMcGee]

48. Good news

Kick

[kysrsoze]

51. This is because the shitty press doesn't report news - just mentions age.

Imagine how people feel when they’re told what is really happening!!??

[SergeStorms]

54. That'll work.

Fox's slo-mo footage of Joe moving around could only fool 'em for so long.

Now Fox will have to come up with some other AI generated bullshit to make Joe look old and feeble.

[cheezmaka]

55. K&R

What a way to put the liars to shame!!!! A man in office that's actually WORKING and getting things done....
