What evidence do you have to support a best case scenario of 2-3 points? Here's what the snap polls are saying:
Quote:
A CBS News poll of approximately 500 people saw approval of the president rise from 62 percent before the speech to 69 percent afterward.
Meanwhile, a poll on CNN showed that 68 percent of respondents -- who skewed a bit Democratic -- viewed the speech positively, 24 somewhat positively, and only eight percent not positively. Eighty-two percent supported the president's economic plan as outlined in the speech, while 17 percent opposed it.

As for the overall numbers, sure he's declined off his high, but he still enjoys strong support. It likely won't stay as high as it is, but anything over 50% is good. Conservatives shouldn't find much policy to support with Obama.
