Poll: 83% Approve of Obama's State of the Union Proposals
Posted by Kevin Hechtkopf .

CBS News conducted an instant poll with Knowledge Networks immediately following President Obama's State of the Union address. Here are some of the highlights:

• 83% of speech watchers approve of the proposals the president made in his speech tonight. 17% Disapprove.

• 70% of speech watchers think Barack Obama shares the same priorities for the country as they do. 57% thought so before the speech.

• 59% of speech watchers think that Barack Obama has a clear plan for creating jobs. 40% thought so before the speech.

The margin of error of the poll was four percent.

The numbers may change as more respondents complete the survey

1. Even for these speeches, those are big numbers.

2. I was going to post the same thing. 57 to 70 is a BIG difference. So lonely for those poor 17%ers.

6. 17% is extremely significant....

Recall that Bush's approval never really fell much lower than 25-30%. This indicates that there are some people who approved of Bush to the very end who, despite that fact, approve of Obama proposals.

4. I love instapolls

I can't help it. Instapolls won my heart during the debates. I just loved how the pundits would sit there going on and on about how well McCain or Palin did, and then came the instapoll results and ... SMASH! Shot their theories to hell.

Good times, good times.

5. Good!

7. These are nightmare numbers for the party of NO.
