Obama's Speech Moved Swing Voters

Democracy Corps did dial testing and focus groups with 50 independent and weak partisan voters watching President Obama's speech last night and found "these swing voters reacted strongly to Obama's message."

Key findings: "Support for Obama's plan jumped 20 points, from 46% before the speech to 66% after. Importantly, Obama also achieved one of his principal goals of boosting the intensity of support. Prior to the speech, just 2% of these swing voters supported the plan strongly while 26% opposed it strongly; by the end of the evening those numbers were virtually reversed, with 28% supporting the plan strongly against just 8% strongly opposed."

1. The juvenile behavior by the pukes had a lot to do with it, no doubt.

Thanks to the repukes for reminding everyone just how stupid, incompetent and corrupt they are!

2. Agreed.

I think the shrieking of that South Carolina rep. will probably do as much for healthcare reform as did the speech, because it pretty much reinforces the image of health care protesters as... well... nuts.

3. I think he successfully broke through the disinformation campaign

Everybody should understand how what the President wants. He could not have been more clear last night.

4. I think the timing of the speech is a masterstoke

too. He waited until the right moment I believe. We are going to get some reform this time.
