CBS Poll- 76% Approve of SOTU Speech

[initforme]

I don't get the socialism stuff. Where is it? We don't have any of it. The number of people who support it are .00000000000000000001 of the population. Stop already.

Giving a good speech is not the same as being a good president. He may get a bump in his approval numbers but he will promptly do something to send them right back down.

The SUBSTANCE of his speech was excellent, and accurate, especially with regards to Jobs, the Economy, our booming ENERGY sector, Prison Reform, Border Security, etc. What was inaccurate in those areas? Be specific.

Mr. Trump said that America is the largest crude oil producer in the world and that production has hit a record high.

This is true.

The United States has been the largest producer of oil and gas in the world since 2013, a trend that began under the Obama administration thanks in large part to advances in shale drilling techniques.

Mr. Trump claimed nearly 5 million people have been lifted off food stamps.

This is exaggerated.

The number of Americans in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program decreased by more than 3.5 million between February 2017 — Mr. Trump’s first full month in office — to September 2018, according to the latest available data. By comparison, the number of people receiving the aid decreased by 5 million from June 2015 to January 2017.

Mr. Trump said that Ralph Northam, the embattled governor of Virginia, said he would execute a baby after it was born.

This is false.

In an interview last month, Governor Northam said that he supported a late-term abortion bill that would loosen restrictions on the procedure, and allow women to consult with a doctor on an abortion up to, but not including, the time of birth.

The governor, a pediatric neurologist, also talked about some of the dangerous medical emergencies that pregnant women could face, such as carrying a nonviable fetus. He said that in such a case, the mother would deliver the infant and then, “the infant would be resuscitated if that’s what the mother and the family desired, and then a discussion would ensue between the physicians and the mother.” While Mr. Northam was talking about an end-of-life care discussion in the case of a child that would not live, Republicans seized on his remarks as evidence that Mr. Northam supported killing babies after their birth.

Mr. Trump said his administration is holding talks with several groups in Afghanistan, including the Taliban.

This is true.

Mr. Trump said that American forces last month killed one of the leaders of the 2000 bombing of the naval destroyer Cole.

This is true.

Mr. Trump said that American troops have been “fighting in the Middle East for almost 19 years.”

This is false.

American troops deployed to Afghanistan on Oct. 7, 2001, to begin Operation Enduring Freedom — the American military and NATO mission to rid Afghanistan of Al Qaeda. But Afghanistan is not technically considered part of the Middle East — it is in southwest Asia. The United States invaded Iraq, which is in the Middle East, in March 2003 — nearly 16 years ago.

Mr. Trump said that lawmakers in New York cheered the passage of legislation that would allow a baby to be ripped from the mother’s womb moments before birth.

This is misleading.

On Jan. 22, the 46th anniversary of the Supreme Court’s landmark Roe v. Wade decision, Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo, a Democrat of New York, signed the Reproductive Health Act, which ensures a woman’s right to an abortion in New York if Roe v. Wade were to be overturned. It does not broadly allow abortions until shortly before birth, as Mr. Trump suggested. Instead, it will allow for an abortion after 24 weeks to protect the mother’s health or if the fetus is not viable. Under the prior law, abortions were allowed after 24 weeks only if the woman’s life was in jeopardy.

Fact Checking the 2019 State of the Union Address

Nice try. Are you suggesting the Gov Northam is against the killing of the baby after birth? Trump was correct in his opinion of Northam's position.

Of course what the OP isn't telling you (or at least isn't highlighting) is that the 76% is of people who watched the speech. Now....the question becomes who watched the speech? It was primarily people who still buy the lies and half-truths; in other words people who support the blob. So the 76% "approval" is not all that great.

Those are the facts; now back to the spin.

Like Abrahm's. She didn't watch yet stuck her king size foot in her mouth

-Geaux

I didn't watch either Trump or Abrams; what did she say that caused her to put her foot in her mouth?

I think she suddenly got hungry.

 

[22lcidw]

It's difficult for leftists to watch that speech and maintain their absolute hatred of the country.

I disagree. Leftists hate this country. Progressives are getting there.

and the ones who love America are easily revealed via their jackboots, right?

~S~

What jackboots? There are many people who vote Democrat that do not realize much of their agendas as per the Progressive Socialists who control the whole party. They believe what they are told by the TV shills. Trump was about as benign as he could be in that speech.

She went against Trumps agenda for one. It's a long list for her. Cried about unfair elections and how every vote should count. Like most Democrats, she is having a hard time excepting election results

no one believes fact checkers

My God, we're stupid.

collectively, yes. when a fact checker doesn't say what you want them to say, we don't believe them. we've let this get way out of control and this is what happens when we as a country act like children. see pelosi in the background of the speech last night.

at this point i'm not going to believe any "media" outlet who is telling me what the facts are. i'll dedicate some time and go look for myself. when the media drops their agenda i'll take them more seriously, as i have to think many will.

we *are* a country of revenge politics.
we *are* a country who determines innocence and guilt on likeability and if you're PC or not.

that drives a lot of bad behavior all around, unfortunately. til we grow out of it, here we are.

single payer healthcare
free education
open borders

to a point many of our programs do have "socialism" built into them. maybe not much, but it's there. the "progressive left" is all for it and many new senators and congressmen are for it.

No way!

A member of the party not in the White House went against the agenda of the SOTU?

Has that ever happened before?

Someone should alert that press about this strange thing that happened.
