Politically and contextually, , he moved the issue to more favorable ground, a smart move. Polling usually lags events by 7-21 days so the numbers may flutctuate for a while yet, but this speech, I think, will help him get past the issue.

I will be glad when the new polls come out. The current polls which were taken DURING the whole flack show his support has dropped. However, I am confident that his numbers will rise again.
I must say that they threw the kitchen sink at him. I am sure that there is nothing else they could possibly have to throw.
