The group claims to be nonpartisan, but is fairly liberal.  So we shouldn't put a ton of stock in theeir findings.  But it'll be interesting to see if the speech affected swing voters in other polls also.



Democracy Corps did dial testing and focus groups with 50 independent and weak partisan voters watching President Obama's speech last night and found "these swing voters reacted strongly to Obama's message."

Key findings: "Support for Obama's plan jumped 20 points, from 46% before the speech to 66% after. Importantly, Obama also achieved one of his principal goals of boosting the intensity of support. Prior to the speech, just 2% of these swing voters supported the plan strongly while 26% opposed it strongly; by the end of the evening those numbers were virtually reversed, with 28% supporting the plan strongly against just 8% strongly opposed."

Eric is right.  It's like after the dem and repub nominations.....they always get a bump in the polls.  Wait a few weeks and see.

Anyone who did not support it before, but now supports it is nothing more than an idiot not worthy of a vote. 

Obama told so many lies in this thing I lost count after about 15 minutes.  I almost threw the TV out the window with all those lies. 

I figured 240 loved it because he falls for this garbage every time.

The only reason I didnt throw the TV out is because the Yankees were on and Jeter is kicking ass this year.
