Pundits may have fawned over President Biden's State of the Union address last Thursday, praising it as a "homerun" performance from a "fiery, powerful, vigorous guy" that would ease nagging fears about his age and vitality. But voters barely seem to have noticed. A new Yahoo News/YouGov survey of 1,482 U.S. adults, conducted in the days immediately following Biden's big speech, shows zero improvement in perceptions of the president " or in his standing against former President Donald Trump. Before the State of the Union, Trump (45%) and Biden (44%) were statistically tied in a head-to-head 2024 matchup, according to the previous Yahoo News/YouGov poll from late January. They remain tied today, with Trump at 46% and Biden at 44% " a gap that's well within the poll's margin of error (2.8%).
I appreciate Yahoo being kind instead of putting Biden LOST ground.0
