SOTU Fails to Rally Support for Obama's Spending Proposals

Before and after polling by Rasmussen shows little change. 50% oppose new spending. Voters very much prefer to cut spending and reduce the deficit.

The president’s Tuesday night State of the Union speech had little impact on support for his new spending proposals in areas like education, transportation and technological innovation.

Rasmussen Reports asked voters the same three questions about the president’s economic proposals on the two nights prior to the speech and then again on Tuesday and Wednesday nights.

On the first two nights, 39% supported the proposals. On the next two nights, support was 41%.
