You mean 37% were these independents?
So out of 82% Democrats only 53% indicated that they favored Obama's health care plan?

CNN/Opinion Research is the first pollster to release a poll that is supposed to tell us something about how Americans responded to Obama's speech. If these numbers are right, then conservatives probably don't have very much to worry about.
In a sample of 427 Americans who watched Obama's speech to a joint session of Congress, 67% indicated that they favored Obama's healthcare plan. Prior to the speech, 53% from this same sample indicated that they favored Obama's healthcare plan.
Unfortunately for Obama, this sample is comprised of 45% Democrats, 37% Independents, and 18% Republicans, a sample that even the most partisan of liberal hacks would concede is completely unrepresentative of the American electorate.
Also, this group is likely already favorably predisposed to Obama given that it watched the speech, let alone its willingness to be re-interviewed after the speech.
In what is an ominous sign for Obama, CNN notes:

Do you call that loading the Dice?
Silly CNN do you really think we are that Stupid?
I guess they do.
Real useful poll...the score in the Yankees game is Yankees 3...
My guess is that there were only 427 people who actually tuned in to watch Obama.
This is the same 67% who said that they had tried to help a nice, clean, young Nigerian prince get some money transferred to their bank account here in America because some meanies...
The odds are better that you'll get bitten by a moose!
How can they report that with a straight face?
Ping to read this later!
More lies.
CNN-Consistently Non News.
Hell, we have only 435 people representing over 300,000,000 ... how accurate can that be :-)!?

And they are all CNN watchers!
And you know that CNN watchers are predominately liberals.
Besides, conservatives like me aren’t going to watch his BS speech.
Been there, done that, heard it, still don’t buy it!
If you go to an old pond in the middle of a farmers field, you’re gonna catch carp and catfish. Same with CNN. Bottom feeders is all you’ll find.
They had to poll Dems at a 2.5:1 ratio over Republicans to come up with a favorable number?
LOL!
They polled 427 people, 77 of them Republicans.
CNN polls are commercials for the O brand.
Nothing to worry about, indeed....
