Two out of three Americans who watched President Barack Obama's health care reform speech Wednesday night favor his health care plans — a 14-point gain among speech-watchers, according to a CNN/Opinion Research Corporation national poll of people who tuned into Obama's address Wednesday night to a joint session of Congress.
Sixty-seven percent of people questioned in the survey say the support Obama's health care reform proposals that the president outlined in his address, with 29 percent opposed. Those figures are almost identical to a poll conducted immediately after Bill Clinton's health care speech before Congress in September, 1993.
...........The sample of speech-watchers in this poll was 45 percent Democratic and 18 percent Republican. Our best estimate of the number of Democrats in the voting age population as a whole indicates that the sample is about 8-10 points more Democratic than the population as a whole.
“Those figures are almost identical to a poll conducted immediately after Bill Clinton’s health care speech before Congress in September, 1993.”
and how did that work out?
LOL, nice try. Conservatives tuned out, morons.
HTH do they know? Who watched the speech anyway?
ROTFLOL
I know that’s a lie.
The word “LIARS” is beginning to lose meaning.... CNN can’t tell the truth about anything....
BS
online cnn poll of those watching on the cnn site.. yep... no bias.
LLS
Not surprising. Obama is a great salesman. Problem, the product he’s selling sucks.
As for me and my house we neither believe nor trust anything CNN has to say.
There. Fixed it.
Besides Freepers doing opposition research, only sycophantic hopey changey types.
How apropos
CNN isn’t credible.....
They probably only called 3 poeple.
of course his supporters watched it.. this is a meaningless poll. CNN is stupid.
The key words: of those who WATCHED! Did you watch? I didn’t. I knew that there was not a damn thing his Marxist, lying, ass could say to make me care. Why would I just irritate myself?
“..The audience for the speech appears to be more Democratic than the U.S. population as a whole. Because of this, the results may favor Obama simply because more Democrats than Republicans tune into the speech. The poll surveyed the opinions of people who watched Wednesday night’s speech, and does not reflect the views of all Americans...”
