Did Barack Obama sell Americans on his claims of progress in Wednesday nights State of the Union speech? According to a Rasmussen poll released today, Obama didnt get a good, solid B-plus for honesty. Only a fifth of respondents believed that Obama cut taxes for 95% of Americans, and even Democrats couldnt believe the two million jobs saved or created fantasy:
The president in the speech declared that his administration has cut taxes for 95% of Americans. He even chided Republicans for not applauding on that point. However, just 21% of voters nationwide believe that taxes have been cut for 95% of Americans. Most (53%) say it has not happened, and 26% are not sure. Other polling shows that nearly half the nations voters expect their own taxes to go up during the Obama years.
The president also asserted that after two years of recession, the economy is growing again. Just 35% of voters believe that statement is true, while 50% say it is false.
Obama claimed that steps taken by his team are responsible for putting two million people to work who would otherwise be unemployed. Just 27% of voters say that statement is true. Fifty-one percent (51%) say its false.
As for the claim about two million jobs, 46% of Democrats say its true, while 77% of Republicans say its not. As for those not affiliated with either major party, 24% say its true, and 59% say its false.
