Here’s the latest Gallup poll numbers for Bush’s State of the Union Address:

78% – Positive Overall (48% – Very Positive, 27% – Positive)
23% – Negative

The breakdown of Republicans, Democrats, and Independents watching the SOTU is this: 43%, 23%, 33%, respectively. CNN was very quick to point out that these poll numbers are skewed in favor of President Bush because the people watching were more likely to be Republicans than Democrats, though they conveniently left out the real figures.

Update: Reader Patrick S. points out that the percentage that held negative opinions (23%) is the same percentage of Democrats watching. Coincidence?
