Thumbs-down to Bush in post-speech poll

no bounce here...
The poll found that 61 percent of Americans oppose sending more than 20,000 additional troops to Iraq, with 52 percent saying they strongly oppose the plan. Just 36 percent said they back the president's new proposal.

Bush fared better among the 42 percent of Americans who actually watched the speech. Among that group, 47 percent support sending more troops, while 51 percent oppose. But the President's supporters were disproportionately represented among the audience.

the reason the president's supporters were disproportionately represented among those who actually watched the speech is simply because you would have to BE a supporter to be able to stomach watching the man... i can't abide him and watching him just makes it that much worse...
