    To be honest that was probably one of the best state of the union addresses i’ve ever seen. He showed he was mentally sharp and also willing to punch back at those who punch at him. That speech just might have won him the presidency again.

      I sure hope so, but the SotU has pretty minimal impacts on approval, historically. Clinton got a bump of ~10 points in 98, but otherwise it’s been less than 5 points in the last 30 years. It was a fantastic speech though, and we are in a unique situation with the age dilemma. Here’s to hoping!
