truthdig: 9 Out of 10 Viewers Approve of Obama’s Proposals

[tridim]

If these CBS News poll numbers are to be believed, the president had a very big night. According to the network, “91 percent of those who watched the speech approved of the proposals Mr. Obama put forth during his remarks. Only nine percent disapproved.”

The poll found that Obama did better than last year, when a mere 83 percent were on board.

Of course the numbers could be skewed by any number of factors. For instance, people who can’t stand the president were less likely to watch and, therefore, be counted. —PZS

CBS News:

According to the poll, which was conducted online by Knowledge Networks immediately after the president’s address, 91 percent of those who watched the speech approved of the proposals Mr. Obama put forth during his remarks. Only nine percent disapproved.

Last year, 83 percent of viewers approved of Mr. Obama’s State of the Union remarks.

1. so 9 in 10 want lower corporate taxes.

That's it: I'm moving.

3. You only listened to half of the statement

which was: the loopholes and lobbying that have allowed a large number of corporations to pay absolutely no taxes have to be eliminated. Others pay a high rate. Once the loopholes and special-interest tax legislation are eliminated, then we can have a "level playing field" with lower corporate rates. It was a REVENUE NEUTRAL statement. It wasn't an unqualified call for lower corporate taxes.

So stay where you are.

4. boxed in

Obama has been going along with republicans on most anything. Last night he boxed them in. I think the majority realize that Republican plans now will cause a worse economy. The way out is a huge public -private investment. Better late than never.
Cutting these programs now is crazy. The time will come but not in this economy.

5. Yep, this poll is a GOP nightmare.

The Repukes have completely blown the little bit of political capital they had, in record time.
