Guess Obambi didn't get an immediate post-SotU bump. Wonder if it'll be delayed or if he's just SOL.

Might just go lower, since he's publicly busted for not telling the truth by SCJ Alito.... :o

Even without Alito calling him on it, picking on the Supremes does not play well with anyone who isn't a rabid Jackass.  It conveys petulance, not resolution.

And I'm sure it will be remembered the next time the administration has one of its pet issues come before the Court......

Looking at the clip, it looked like Bader-Ginsburg wanted to crawl under her seat. She's a rather diminuitive woman anyway, but after that comment by Lord Zero, she seemed to shrink even more.

The Supremes are a very exclusive club. I can't imagine the dissenters on that opinion liked being called out either.

They're circled the wagons and they may be running low on ammo, but the fight ain't over yet.

It won't be long before one of these Justice Dept. hacks has to plead a case before the S.C. Talk about getting the 3rd degree.

No post SOTU bump.

I think their polling is a 3 day average, so Sunday might show one or Saturday might.

-12 today (January 30).

Quote
Looking only at interviews conducted on the two nights following the speech, it is clear that the President enjoyed a bounce in the polls and that the bounce came from members of his own party. On the morning of the speech, 50% of Democrats Strongly Approved of the President’s performance. On the two nights following the speech, that number jumped to 65%. There was essentially no change among Republican and unaffiliated voters.

This could suggest that the President’s “pivot” following the Republican upset in Massachusetts is a pivot towards energizing his party base more than reaching out for support from unaffiliated voters. In Massachusetts and the two Governor’s races last fall, a lack of enthusiasm from Democrats contributed to the party’s defeats.

Polling conducted after the speech also found that most voters do not believe the President’s assertions about tax cuts, economic growth, or job creation. Democrats tend to give him the benefit of the doubt. Republicans and unaffiliated voters do not.

His rating may go up too, now that he's agreed to move KSM's trial out of NYC.

Why can't 'O' have a speech today?  He needs to talk to his people ...

KC

Have no fear; he is supposed to give a speech to us subjects once a week for the next 6 months. His disapproval rating should be a minus 20 by November.

Hi,

As long as the trials are in civilian courts makes no difference where they are held he will achieve his goal of educating the muslim world regarding our terrorist interrogation techniques.

Unless he reverses himself and has the trials in a military tribunal, makes little difference.  Do not fall for the sleight of hand.

-7 today (January 31); must be the State of the Union bump, although one is mystified as to why.

Quote
In Election 2010 Senate races, Democratic incumbents are behind in Nevada, Colorado, Arkansas and Pennsylvania. In California, Indiana, and Wisconsin, Democratic incumbents are in potentially competitive races. A commentary by Rhodes Cook suggests that “For Democrats, It’s Time to Worry.”

Republicans lead open-seat races in Delaware, Florida, Kentucky, Missouri, New Hampshire, North Dakota, and Ohio. Democrats lead in Connecticut, and the race is close in Illinois. Republican incumbents lead in North Carolina and Iowa,

A commentary by political analyst Larry Sabato, suggests that if the election were held today, “the (59-seat) Democratic majority in the Senate would be reduced to just 52 seats.”

Yup--it's the base responding to his promise that free ponies are just around the corner.

Watch that number go down faster than Barney Frank in a corn dog eating contest when they realize it ain't happening.

This is the result of the three day bump from the Republicans meeting with him and the SOTU speech.

It's an anomaly; it's going to go right back down to double digits soon, and perhaps hit -20 in a month or six weeks.

I can't think of anything to explain that spike in his approval rating.
