The gallop poll report
Speech watchers in a USA TODAY/CNN/Gallup Poll gave Bush high marks for his policies on terrorism and taxes. He was most effective in changing minds on Social Security (news - web sites) and health care. Before the speech, 47% thought his Social Security policies would move the country in the right direction; that rose to 59% after the speech. The percentage who felt his health care policies would move the country in the right direction rose to 63% from 48%. The poll of 381 people reflected a viewing audience sympathetic to Bush, with 46% Republican, 28% independent and 26% Democrat.
Will add to this a quote by Clark
And Wesley Clark (news - web sites), a leading contender for the Democratic nomination, said Bush had created his own "Axis of Evil" two years after coining the phrase in a previous State of the Union report to describe countries that threaten the United States.
This is same fellow that "promised" if elected there would be no terrorist attack on U.S. soil.--he just didn't say how on earth it was possible for anyone to make such guarantees.
