re: #150 prairiefire

Specific wording
CBS 83% of viewers approved of the president’s proposals, 42% think he will be able to accomplish them.

CNN 48% of viewers positive on the speech
30% somewhat positive
21% negative

I think those polls tell us more about CNN and CBS viewership than they do the general populaces opinion of the SOTU. Of course the general populace was more likely to be watching NCIS reruns than the SOTU.
