CNN Poll: 7 in 10 who watched say Biden's speech left them feeling optimistic

I am surprised that even the 3 out of ten existed. How could anyone not feel good about his speech?? What a relief to be back to normal again.

LOL! A speech that was cliche after cliche, and promises of spending trillions more after the incredible spending that has already taken place. Who wouldn't love that?

By a wide margin, speech-watchers said that Biden's policy proposals would move the country in the right direction (73%) rather than the wrong direction (27%). In a survey conducted before the speech, the same people were a bit less bullish that Biden would lead in the right direction (67% right direction, 33% wrong direction), and that movement came from the independents and Republicans who watched the speech. Among Republicans, the share saying Biden's policies would move the country in the right direction grew from 13% pre-speech to 27% post-speech, while among independents, that percentage rose from 61% to 73%.

So did Biden really swing more Republicans to his side with his speech? That was his aim and it appears it worked. All I know is that when such a majority of American (73%) think this is how we should move it will be suicide for the GOP to stand in his way. So are Republicans suicidal or not? I think they have been acting suicidal since the one term mistake was in office. They don't care what the majorities want that is for sure. They pretend they know better and seem to be betting on establishing an autocracy where what the people want is immaterial.

I thought Cancun Cruz was going to need a shot of adrenaline into the heart like the girl in pulp fiction...

Cruz wasn't the only one Biden put to sleep with his boring speech. Romney...one of those Republican Biden lovers...was dozing off, too.

These polling results reflect the reality that President Biden presented a hopeful and substantive message that the United States is rebounding, which was confirmed by the Q1 GDP report released earlier today. He laid out a platform that addresses big challenges. He articulated the need for the kind of sustained and serious R&D that produced historic scientific and technological breakthroughs and a prosperity-creating productivity windfall. Even as disagreements on specifics exist among many, it was evident that Biden was not playing “small ball” aimed at managing an American decline, but laying a foundation to allow the United States to remain a master of its destiny.

Rebuilding infrastructure, getting high speed internet in rural areas, making the electric grid more reliable, etc. improves productivity and makes the country more competitive and efficient.

facts are fact no matter how much you don't like them

I know Trumpism tells us different but Trumpism is based on what people want to believe not facts.

Yes cliches that 73% of americans who watched said it was the right direction. What a relief to have a majority President for a change. We never do well with minority Presidents like Bush and the one term mistake.

What part of...


The audience of speech-watchers was a friendly one for Biden​

​

13 points more Democratic than the general public and about 2 points less Republican​

...do you not understand.

What should worry the **** out of Biden lovers is that 27% of the Biden lovers who watched the speech thought he's going in the wrong direction. That is telling you that more than a quarter of pro-Biden people think he's not good for the US.

The in-person audience is not who was polled.

Survey respondents were recruited via the SSRS Opinion Panel, a nationally representative panel of U.S. adults age 18 or older recruited using probability-based sampling techniques,from April 20-26, 2021.
