What's the Bush Poll Bounce from the SOTU?
I'm thinking it will be -2%

These "goals" and "visions" are not what the majority of Americans want.

(1) More pre-emptive war because we are right.
(2) Can't admit that he lied about WMD
(3) More faith based money for social programs
(4) Constitutional amendments to discriminate against gays.
(5) Permananet tax cuts for the rich
(6) Keep the dictatorial powers of the Patriot Act in place


His fascism was clearly on display for all to see. He is not my vision of AMerica. I really miss Bill Clinton.......

2. He was so bad I
miss Reagun!
I would love to see his numbers actually go down. A fantasy, after all the sheeple still think he's got integrity.

3. It was a weak speech.
It didn't float the liberals hearts, but then it wasn't meant to.

However, it didn't float conservative hearts either.

1) Continued Fiscal irresponsibility via permament tax cuts and increased spending.

2) Government dollars to religion in violation of separation of church and state.

3) Not have the guts to actually say what he means regarding gay marriage.

4) Continued reduction of constitutional rights.

I'd say at best he won't get the typical SOTU boost in polls.

4. I don't think he's going to get much of a bounce
people are concerned about the economy, and he had no solutions.
