Pollgasm: Joint Session Reaction
The numbers: 68% of viewers said they had a positive reaction, compared to 24% negative. And an astonishing 85% said the speech made them feel more optimistic about the direction the country is headed in (though granted, feeling more optimistic than before might be a low bar), and only 11% said it made them more negative.And 82% of speech-watchers say they support Obama's economic plans as outlined in the speech, with only 17% against.
The positive reaction numbers, as CNN warns, are fairly typical of initial joint session speeches.
But the economic numbers? 82 percent? That's a crapload of radical communists.

I thought Obama started out good, then went weak for a spell, and then regained momentum! Overall a B or a B+!
But honestly Jindal was shamefully "flat"!
Throw Steele, Jindal and Palin into a blender and you get a liquefied stupid goop!

Every time Obama gives a major speech now, the instant reaction is like Kansasdem: "It was great, but not as great as I expected."
On the one hand, it's nice to have a president who raises expectations for change, for a change.
On the other hand, I've noticed that as the Inaugural and the Town Hall were parsed and dissected and run through the news cycle, they've turned to pure GOLD.

someone needs to explain to me the discrepancies in the results. 14% had a NEGATIVE reaction but support the plan? 17% are optimistic that the country's headed in the right direction, but had a negative reaction to the speech?
What am I missing here?
