The day president obamas state of the Union Address the speech that sets the agenda for the new year is 12 hours away. It will be his sixth of the presidency and first since he acquired the lame duck label u. Despite that status the president is on something of a roll. Take a look at these numbers from our new wall street journal poll. The president s approval rating, 46 , the highest since the fall of 2013. A big part of that is the economy. 45 say they are satisfied, the best number in over a decade. 49 say the u. S. Is in a state of decline. It may sound like a big number but its the lowest since nbc started asking the question in 1991. Heres what the chief of staff had had to say on today. What the president is saying is the middle class economics we pursued since 2009 have gotten us to where we are. More and more americans are feeling better about the economy. Theres still yet to be done and thats what we want to talk about tonight. And no better person to discuss what all this me
