@NavigatorSurvey usual caveats apply, namely that this isn't a qualitative survey, it's a progressive group, and this was measuring an impression during the speech that could quickly fade. but generally speaking, this is the kind of movement Dems would like to see on the issue — PolitiTweet.org

Alex Roarty @Alex_Roarty

Progressive polling outfit @NavigatorSurvey did some a focus group during the speech, with a mixed group of partisans. Headline finding: 30% of the group started the night having positive view of Biden's handling of Ukraine. By end of speech, that figure rose to 57% — PolitiTweet.org

Alex Roarty @Alex_Roarty

Ukraine aside (and it's a big caveat), the bulk of the speech seemed designed to reassure liberals that the White House was still fighting for its priorities, on guns, voting rights, etc ... No course correction, but maybe one that eases some troubles with his political base — PolitiTweet.org

Unexpected fact about this speech: Biden has used the words "American Rescue Plan" five times, woven throughout the speech and references on a number of different issues. One-year anniversary of its passage is next week. Feels as if WH getting ready for a full-throated defense — PolitiTweet.org

@ShaneGoldmacher that it exists as both a harrowing indicator for the president's party and a source of optimism things could get better is a very odd mixture! — PolitiTweet.org

the counter-argument would be that that the public has never been less interested in talk vis-a-vis action and basically ~lol nothing matters~ even SOTU addresses don't break through anymore — PolitiTweet.org

Alex Roarty @Alex_Roarty

- the timing with Russia's invasion of Ukraine gives the president a unique opportunity to shape public opinion while it's still malleable, which is important given that voters initial response was to grade the president negatively. — PolitiTweet.org

Alex Roarty @Alex_Roarty

Why the #sotu could be more politically influential than usual, a two-part argument: - Biden's support among Democrats has suffered, but those are voters who are at least still willing to listen to the president. So a big speech could, in theory, start to bring them back — PolitiTweet.org

@danielrotger511 all true, but generally speaking, we don't have SOTU's timed to correspond with major world events in which the president can/will argue he's played a major role — PolitiTweet.org

Alex Roarty @Alex_Roarty

@BryanMinehart maybe not useless, but I'd wager public opinion on this is much more malleable than we're used to seeing on most any other issue, and so the numbers could change fast — PolitiTweet.org

@outbeyond the majority (61%) either disapprove or have no opinion of how he's responded to the invasion — PolitiTweet.org
