Dial testing and follow-up discussions with 50 swing voters in Denver, Colorado showed that President Obama’s 2011 State of the Union struck a powerful chord as he described his economic vision for the country.

As one of these swing voters put it, “the future belongs to the people who make the what and the how.”
