It means that a host of Americans who voted for Romney agree with Obama's approach to the issues.

And this wasn't the only poll that had similar numbers. The CNN poll had 77% with Very Positive (53%) or Somewhat Positive (24%) reactions to the SOTU. It would appear that outside the hardcare teabagging base of the Republican Party, Obama has something that looks like nearly universal support.

The question is, will he use it?

Sometimes Obama reminds me of Gen. George McClellan in the Civil War. No matter what numerical advantage he might enjoy, it's never quite enough to justify going on the offense.
