CBS News has an insta-poll on President Obama's State of the Union that was overwhelmingly favorable. But take this with a grain of salt. Gallup reviewed public reaction to past States of the Union by other presidents and concluded "these speeches rarely affect a president's public standing in a meaningful way, despite the amount of attention they receive."

Our New Approach to Comments

In an effort to encourage the same level of civil dialogue among Politics Daily’s readers that we expect of our writers – a “civilogue,” to use the term coined by PD’s Jeffrey Weiss – we are requiring commenters to use their AOL or AIM screen names to submit a comment, and we are reading all comments before publishing them. Personal attacks (on writers, other readers, Nancy Pelosi, George W. Bush, or anyone at all) and comments that are not productive additions to the conversation will not be published, period, to make room for a discussion among those with ideas to kick around. Please read our Help and Feedback section for more info.
