The numbers: 68% of viewers said they had a positive reaction, compared to 24% negative. And an astonishing 85% said the speech made them feel more optimistic about the direction the country is headed in (though granted, feeling more optimistic than before might be a low bar), and only 11% said it made them more negative.
And 82% of speech-watchers say they support Obama's economic plans as outlined in the speech, with only 17% against.
The positive reaction numbers, as CNN warns, are fairly typical of initial joint session speeches.
But the economic numbers? 82 percent? That's a crapload of radical communists.
