Early response to Biden’s State of the Union address indicates that in the immediate term he has stabilized the floor of his support among his 20 **20** voters. In other words, his speech has helped his campaign stop the bleeding (for whatever bleeding their was).

I would say that his State of the Union address did the above to the point where he won’t, indeed, need 80 million votes again. **[See this other P&E thread](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/a-forecast-of-the-2024-us-presidential-election-are-the-assumptions-and-results-reasonable/997960)** for further discussion of numbers apart from the State of the Union’s affect upon them.
