Biden gets a bounce after the State of the Union, NPR/PBS NewsHour/Marist poll shows

It's actually pretty close to reality. Democrats will put their heads down and at least create a health care plan. It may have issues, it may be imperfect, but they'll offer something. Republicans will simply criticize but offer little of their own ideas. Ditto infrastructure. Ditto poverty. Ditto discrimination. It would be nice to see a Republican policy position more robust than "ban abortion, agree with Trump and own the liberals" but that appears to be the extent of what we get these days. It's hard to vote R these days because I can't figure out what most of them stand for. I only can tell what they stand against... namely, any position of any kind that any D makes on any topic.

I’m not surprised by the jump Biden did a lot better in that speech than anyone thought he could. It was impressive to see him pull it off. In a few weeks the real test will be once the Rah Rah Rah has faded Biden has given us a few more verbal fumbles, gas closes in on $4 and prices increase across the board as a result, will this increase hold or will it fade and Biden become a liability in the midterms. Memorial Day cookouts will be the first real test for 2022 and set the tone for the summer.

Do you think Biden should cut off Russian oil?

 

[RAMOSS]

I assumed that was all very online rightwing bullshit. You think real people believed that nonsense?

The last bunch of years taught me people look at the surface of things and very rarely dive deeper. they will listen to words, and ignore the actual deeds.

 

[NuffSaid]

Is that who that was?

Yep, nothing but skid marks in Congress showing their true “class”.

 

[NuffSaid]

Usually doesn't the President take this time to speak of their accomplishments? Not surprising that he bragged of nothing!

Sometimes in a time of steadying the ship and letting the Nation know that it might be some rough waters, but better times are ahead, bragging isn’t the best course of action.

Only if he also opens up exploration of our own sources. But that would not help European interests

We have thousands of drilling sites pre-approved that haven't been touched. How much more open can you get?

Thousands and one

Thousands and one

So, your claim is that more empty, untapped fields will lower gas prices?

 

[The flaming lib]

Every potus gets a boost in polling right after the SOTU. It will hold for a month or two then he will sink to the level he as in before.

in the last year and 2 months the Federal government has leased over 106 Million acres of federal land to oil companies, Trump gave out leases on 26 million acres in his last month in office and Biden put up for lease 80 million acres in the Gulf alone.
and the US oil industry hasn't reopened the wells they were pumping in 2019 and 2020 before the Russian / Saudi price war
Have a nice night

Dems do a lousy job of messaging, then again they don't have their private media outlet. Given the posts here I bet not one single conservative understands what is really happening and why American-based oil companies are not expanding domestically. Although with prices so high now they might..... it won't stay here, they will sell it overseas. Domestically produced oil has squat to do with the price at the pump. " Energy independence" is a buzz phrase pushed by Fox as something to do with oil prices domestically and the bobbleheads bobble.

This article gives a pretty good description of why oil companies are focusing on profitability and return on investment rather than expanded production.

Darren Woods of Exxon said something similar a few days ago

"When asked about production targets for 2022 during a January earnings call, ExxonMobil CEO Darren Woods responded, "The primary objectives we've had in looking at the portfolio is less about volume and volume targets and more about the quality and profitability of the barrels that we're producing."

As Republicans make "drill, baby, drill" demands, large oil companies in Colorado and beyond are holding back on new production.

It won't last.

At the end of the day, prices of stuff is still skyrocketing, he still won't divest the US from Russian oil and he's refused to support a No Fly Zone in Ukraine.

A no-fly zone would be like an open invitation to start WW3. It's the most idiotically dangerous suggestion you could imagine. You might be surprised to learn that we don't want another European war which could rapidly escalate to a global conflict.

Yeah, but he said NOTHING about any accomplishments. There has been NONE!

 

[Queen Margo]

Not surprising at all. This was not the time to brag. This is what leadership coupled with humility looks like.

Spin what you will, it does not stop Old Joe talking about SCRANTON at the most ridiculous times!

After what's been a bleak several months politically for President Biden, a new NPR/PBS NewsHour/Marist survey finds he is seeing a significant boost in his approval ratings across the board following his State of the Union address and Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

"This is an unusual bounce," said Lee Miringoff, director of the Marist Institute for Public Opinion, which conducted the poll. "It gets him back to where he was pre-Afghanistan."

Here's a look at some of the numbers:

• Overall approval rating jumped to 47%, up 8 points from the NPR poll last month. Presidents don't generally see much, if any bounce, out of a State of the Union address. Since 1978, there had only been six times when a president saw an approval rating improve 4 points or more following State of the Union addresses, according to the pollsters. Three of those bounces were for former President Bill Clinton.
• Ukraine handling is up 18 points to 52%.
• Coronavirus pandemic handling is now 55%, up 8 points.
• Economic handling up 8 points to 45%.

The national survey of 1,322 adults was conducted March 1 and 2 by live callers via mobile phone and landlines, following the State of the Union address. Results were weighted to reflect the demographics of the country, as shown in the U.S. Census' 2019 American Community Survey. It has a margin of error of +/- 3.8 percentage points, meaning results could be almost 4 points lower or higher.

After Tuesday's speech, the president saw a significant jump with Democrats and independents, as he may be seeing a rally-around-the-Ukrainian-flag moment.

Good.

And the new jobs report will drive up the numbers further. I guess.

Makes sense, he hit alot of the things people were concerned about, as is expected in a SOTU address. Whether it will last is another question.
