Going, Going, Gone!!

A CNN Poll conducted after President Obama's 's address last night to a joint session of Congress revealed that two out of three Americans who watched President Barack Obama's health care reform speech Wednesday night favor his health care plans.  Sixty-seven percent of people questioned in the survey say they support Obama's health care reform proposals  outlined in his address.  This is 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.  "Going into the speech, a bare majority of his audience — 53 percent — favored his proposals. Immediately after the speech, that figure rose to 67 percent," says CNN Polling Director Keating Holland.    Only 29 percent opposed Obama's proposals.  70 percent of those polled said that Obama's policies will move the country in the right direction,  which is an increase of 10 points from before the speech.  The CNN/Opinion Research Corporation poll of 427 American adults was conducted by telephone immediately before and immediately after President Obama's  speech. 

I'd say that the President hit this one out of the park.
