Quote:Pundits may have fawned over President Biden’s State of the Union address last Thursday, praising it as a “homerun” performance from a “fiery, powerful, vigorous guy” that would ease nagging fears about his age and vitality.

But voters barely seem to have noticed.

A new Yahoo News/YouGov survey of 1,482 U.S. adults, conducted in the days immediately following Biden’s big speech, shows zero improvement in perceptions of the president — or in his standing against former President Donald Trump.

Before the State of the Union, Trump (45%) and Biden (44%) were statistically tied in a head-to-head 2024 matchup, according to the previous Yahoo News/YouGov poll from late January.

They remain tied today, with Trump at 46% and Biden at 44% — a gap that’s well within the poll’s margin of error (2.8%).

Before the speech, 40% of Americans approved of the job Biden was doing as president; 56% disapproved. Today, those numbers are 39% and 55%, respectively.

I call BS. There’s now way this brain dead failure is getting 40% approval ratings

It's yahoo...

Whatever Biden’s true poll-ratings may be, the point is that the SOTU speech did not change them.

Politically, the only thing the speech accomplished (but it’s an important thing) is that the speculation about getting another Dem. nominee to replace Biden has been squelched since Biden appeared to be non-senile. That really is setting the bar as low as it can possibly go, but Biden did clear it and it seems obvious that the Dems are not going to reconsider the matter, at least until the primaries are over in June.

40% are voting for the party, not the man.

You'll start to see him rise in the polls.

That's a good thing. A different Democrat would be an unknown - those wanting change would get it that way. The public knows Biden's track record & it's not good!

I do think it has made their job of getting rid of him a little trickier. But we all know democrats will change the lie on a whim without any flicker of conscience.
