State of the Union Polling
Monday, December 20, 1999
Schoen & Berland Associates
L __ _ _ _ _._Penn,
This is perhaps the last opportunity to address 80 million people at once
and communicate what your vision was for the country and what your
vision is for the next century. It is an opportunity to put together that
pointillist painting of your accomplishments into a coherent picture that
underscores the need for the country to keep moving forward with that
vision.
Because it is an election year, the underlying purpose of the speech must
also be to lay out the Democratic agenda in contrast to the Republican
agenda and to drive home the successes ofthe presidency and the party,
especially the economy. We can neither let prosperity be taken for granted
nor allow your accomplishments be telescoped to just fixing the economy.
There have been few changes in public opinion in the last year. The public
keeps getting wealthier, more suburban, more satisfied with their own
lives, more confident about technology and the economy. They are both
compassionate and activist in outlook. They continue to worry about the
global economy, terrorists, loose nukes, privacy, drugs and anything that
docs not preserve Social Security and Medicare. And they think that
healthcare and education need major overhauls to work in the next century.
But without doubt, Columbine was the searing national event that made the
public even more values oriented than in 1996. It changed attitudes on
guns, and raised new concerns about children, family, violence in the old
and new forms of media and entertainment; it shattered the belief that
violence was the province of inner city schools and brought these
concerns right into the suburbs. No family, rich or poor, suburban or city,
could escape the problem of youth violence.
The swing voters in the upcoming elections are almost all middle class
women voters. While seniors continue to trend against us, and we have a
great many important programs that appeal to them in a close race, it is
these women who make up most of the voters in the polls who, after read a
few issue differences, typically switch back to the Democrats in huge
numbers. They should be the central targets of the first new policy section
of the speech.
These women in their thirties and forties with children are cross-pressured
between the sterner moral message of responsibility that the Republicans
preach and the activist message of the Democrats that offers them the
tools to be better parents and that will unlock a better future for their
children. The goal Is to convince those of moderately conservative values
than an activist government is consistent with those values and is perhaps
Penn, Schoen and Berland Associates
COPY
�the only kind of government that can function effectively in the modern
world.
Attached is the annual polling on the policy proposals.
Some additional theme and message polling will be done as this takes
more shape, and the use of family themes vs. opportunity themes, as well
as some polling on the specific accomplishment statistics will all be done
right after the New Year.
1.
Where we are. It is clearly important to underscore the progress
that has been made. A key sentence could be:
Today, this is a nation prepared for the 21 5tCentury.
Strongest economy in its history ... 20 million jobs ... real wages
rising ... home ownership at all time high .. .interest rates and inflation low ...
Turned around from a 300 billion deficit to a surplus and an opportunity to
make America debt free.
But it is important to convince the public that this progress has .!!.Q!
been limited to the economy. (We should hit this hard to counter the Bush
message of Prosperity with a purpose- it has had a purpose). Along with
economic progress, society itself has made progress. Crime down
nationally XX% ... 2 million off ofwelfare ... teen pregnancy down ... America
is not just better off- it!§_ better today.
And Americans are learning to master the new technologies that
threatened to create unemployment and that have instead led to record job
growth. PC growth, Internet growth ... one out of every three new jobs is
related to technology ... whole new industries being created ... more people
than ever before living the American dream of being their own boss and
having their own business.
2.
But now is the moment that we have to decide whether we will
prepare the next generation to succeed In the new century. This is
the moment in which we will press either forward or fall backward
-and their futures will be at stake.
Then usual philosophy of government section- but maybe this
time rather than rejecting big government as the central point, we
should reject the idea of a return to conservative government in
times that demand a responsive government.
Penn, Schoen and Berland Associates
COPY
�Just seven years ago, America was adrift... and we began off with
an idea about how to reverse that drift. It started with three simple
values, opportunity, responsibility and community ... Jt wasn't
about one bill or one vote- it was a complete change in how this
government should serve its people ... and three years ago I
declared the era of big government as over. But the era of
conservative government is also over. The modern times demand
a modern government that lives within its means, but reaches out
to the stars to solve the great new challenges of the day. Our
success should not be a call to do less in the future; it should be
a call to keep right on going.
3.
Unfinished business
Preserving Social Security, Medicare, creating a prescription drug
benefit, passing a strong patient's bill of rights, raising the
minimum wage, campaign finance.
4.
Bruce and Gene would now want the speech to move to how we
close the opportunity gap in America. And there is a lot of appeal
to that notion, especially for elites. However, as the polling
shows, closing the opportu11ity gap is not very effective as
rhetoric because it is clearly seen as a more liberal help the poor
agenda. So if we were to go in this direction, then calling this a
new opportunity agenda makes more sense, and that agenda can
~:r ~~~~~tti,hee ~~~~~=~~:~~~~~ ~~~:'s ~~~e0~:~~~~~~o~~~~tu;~~
grade education. Today we have to expand educational
opportunity to cover pre~school and open again even wider the
doors to college. 100 years ago, opportunity might have meant
enough. schoolbooks, today it means that every classroom must
be connected to the lntemet...And this could be done as a new
definition of what opportunity for all means in the 21 51 century.
Doing it this way has some power, and we will test it.
5.
But if you want to tap directly into the swing electorate, then the
best section to have up front woulcl be a section on strengthening
America's families- giving the next generation the tools they
need to succeed. This is consistently what works to move votes
and increase favorable ratings if a solid agenda is put together.
This section would then focus on the help parents need to raise their
children:
Penn, Schoen and Berland Associates
COPY
�Expanded Child-care, pre-school, and after-school initiatives
Schools with standards - taking the next steps in standards,
ensuring quality trained teachers, turning around failing
schools
Expanded Hope Scholarship or Schumer College Tuition tax
cut
Expanding the healthcare coverage of poor/working class
children
Helping parents keep violence out of the lives of their children
- passing the administration's gun proposals and consider
pushing the envelope to call for every state to have a program
of gun licensing once and for all.
Having strengthened proposals for dealing with the marketing
of violence to children -the v chip works only if every network
cooperates in the ratings (NBC doesn't), if the ratings are
understandable, and if parents take the responsibility to use
them. And we also need an internet-related proposal does tile
same thing.
Responsible fatherhood policy
Expanding the FMLA to smaller businesses, parent-teacher
conferences, and paid leave
Then I think that speech can turn to the other challenges that we face in the
beginning of the 219t Century:
Aging of America
(SSIMedlcare, prescription drugs, long-term care)
Assuring Economic Opportunity for all
New Markets Initiatives
Digital Divide/teacher training in technology
Minimum wage
Equal Pay {need a stronger Initiative here)
Penn, Schoen and Ber1and Associates
COPY
�Protecting our Basic American Values in the face of change
(This can be a mix of areas in which we are asserting our values
in the face of great changes taking place)
Protecting the planet (environmental initiatives including land trusts,
global warming)
Protecting our privacy (Internet, credit cards, medical records}
Investing in science and technology, but with safeguards (human
genome, nanotechnology, but outlawing genetic discrimination,
labeling gmos)
Rewarding service (Americorps, service Initiatives)
Allowing limited Faith-based initiatives
Then Foreign Policy and trade together, and close on One America
(put hate crimes and immigration Issues here).
Penn, Schoen and Berland Associates
COPY
�I SOTU Messaging
Starting Point for the State of the Union ....
How far America has come as lt crossed the bridge to the 21st
Century
Economic/Education/Welfare/Crime/Teen pregnancy- all of the
changes that have taken place in the last years that spell out the
great progress that Americans have made.
But also America has changed - it has adapted to the Information
Revolution- perhaps better than any nation on earth. Productivity
up. Leadership in the world's new industries. Internet is creating
yet another new way of communicating and living.
11.
Philosophy of Government
Started with a simple set of values: Opportunity, Responsibility
and Community
Fiscal responsibility and securing Social Security, Medicare,
Education and the Environment.
Making government smaller, yet doing more to help people have
the tools they needed to succeed in these changing times.
Continuing the formula for economic growth- fiscal disciple,
investing in people, opening new markets
Ill.
Unfinished business of Congress
IV.
The need to make the first steps of the new century the right steps.
Social Security, Medicare reform, Prescription drugs, Patient's Bill
of Rights.
This means that government not just this year, but for many years
to come, must stand up to the challenges of the new age.
COPY
'
�Can then group much ofthe speech around these challenges, probably not
putting seniors first this year. (This is just a first cut with some that are not
yet in the right bins)
Assuring Equal Opportunity in the New Age
(heavily education, new markets initiative)
Meeting the Demands of an Aging Society with soaring life expectancy
(Social Security, Medicare, Prescription drugs, Healthcare)
Challenging Americans to Assume Personal Responsibility
(Volunteerism and Service)
(Child support, absentee fathers, anti-drug initiatives)
(and possibly- stemming the culture of violence}
Making Science and Technology Work for Us
(overcoming digital divide, human genome, research in tech, health, GM
foods, Privacy)
Right balance between work and family
(Child care, after school, FLMA, Paid Leave, Telecommuting)
Continuing and Spreading our prosperity to every corner
(This could be in equal opportunity above or be its own section defending
against those who would upset fiscal responsibility, and then could also
discuss the challenge of maintaining economic growth while protecting the
environment)
Using growing interdependence to foster America's leadership
(Trade, use of alliances to keep the peace, dealing with concerns about
nuclear weapons, terrorism)
Diversity as our strength

Presideui
Frot::~·DonBae;r
CC: Terry Edmonds
This is already a latl:l not.;, bnt I'v"" tal.k""d with T.orry about it and decided to send in my ideas
anyway.
This year's Statl:l ofthe Union, following on your Millennium Night speech, is obviously a
crucial 111011J.ent. It is the next step a:nong your last opportunitle5 to speak to the entire nation
about the progress made b~::cause of your leadersJ,Jp and your clear vision for America in the 21":
Century It is useful to view tlns speech in tandem >Vlth your only r=iuing major opportunity
before the election to speak to \.he entire nation- and indeed Uu::: world: your speech next summer
at the Democratic Natio.a.al Convention. The two tog~ther (with anything you .say after the
election) will be viewed as something of a coda for your Presidency
about the pa.~t, you should make them about the future, about the hopes,
dreams and aspirations of .Americans- and America- to achieve our best in the new century.
Rather than backv.•ard looking, you should relentle~sly- and, at times in your rhetoric, quitr;:
openly- insist that we focus together on buildmg upon the fou11dation we have worked so bard
to put in place.
But rather than being
In a!l of these spelelclws, it i8 very important to find a way to show that under you, America seems
for the first time in 25 years to huve ;3. brir;ht future again, not ]11-st for some, but for most of our
?Eople. That is a huge achieveme!lt m attitude and reality that is under-appreciated. The title of
Fred Siegel's book nbout New York, "The Future Once Happened Here," might well have
appht:d to .A.mencan aspirations until your Presidency. :-1/ow, howeYI:lr, Americuns ar"' believing
man: tllan at ll.."lY time sinco: V1etnam, the 70~ cconomic do"Rlltum and Watergate that the future
is happ<>:ling here-- r.otjus1 :or a few, but for the many. Much of your work has becu, by force,
about undoing the mistakes of your predecessors from the right and dte left. But under your
Presidency, we are poised to appreciate that our spirit has been renewed. It is renewed not
because we are fighting against a foreign thra<~t a11d bo:cause tho~e at the very top of the hdder
are the only ones moving higher (as was the Reagau impact); rather, it's b.ue bo:oause we h.ave
begun to have c.onfidencc in ourselves again ro wor!{ ':ogether to'¥ards common wms in a time of
vast change. People still have concems about government and politics as forces fOr good, but
they ate seeing that we can have an impact of the direction of cha.uge for the good.
To rhat end, I thought much of what you said on New Year's was perfect for the SOTU setti,)g.
Since you won't now have to share the stage wiTh coUrJ!less celebrations around the globe, there
is no reason not to import large portions of that address straight into this speech. Your line really
does sum it all up: "When our memories outwe-igh our dreams, we grow old. And 11 i.~ the eternal
destiny of America to remam forever young_" Keep the eountry focused on its dreaJns of future
~uccess, not its memories of past glories, but. u~e a ftmdamental sense of our enduring values,
along with concrete policy propo8:t1~ as the bridge to corwect the nva.
This approach calls for underscoring several key poims:
Tap into, while also inspiring, the extraordinary optimism ofthe American people about this
vital :moment. People feel the tr~~ndo~s potential of this "age of possibility," as you have
branded it. They are not dour or even purlioularly anxiOI.I-$. Yes, they recognize, even deplore,
the fact rhat there are obstacles to p:ogre.>s But th.,..y are increasingly eager to seize the
COPY
�opportunity, and they are ope:1 to helping others make the changes and leaps th:J.t are
necessary for our entire society to succeed, perhaps as never before. The right tone is a
positive, upbeat, yet realistic apptoach that builds on a.'IJd helps to propel optimism.
Explain that we have regaim:d our confidence (a key word) to face our challenges together in
this decade. I agrl:\~ wit11 the asseosmeut I have heard Taylor Bre.neh discuss that your great.ost
legacy is to restore the cmcial beliefthat, af1.cr dt:.eadeo of declining confidence, we as
Americans now believe again t11~t we can confront oU!' social problems and cleal with them
togeth~r. One view of your srory-line is: First, the man from Hope as a. spark for renewal;
eventually, bit by bit, hope was tram; formed into conftdence, built on the stepping stones of
solid, ~;;oncn:te methods that worked to grapple with om most intractable challenges. We
have cracked many problem.s. We have not always done so using the traditional New Deal,
govemrnent-centeredmodel. We haveu'l figured out solutions to all our issues {education..
esped~ly in the dizital age, is, to my mind, top of this list). But we do believe we can .~olve
those problems if- together- we put our minds and our wills to the task Given where we
were coming from in 1992, t]uu is an amazing legacy, wh1ch de~erves recogrution.
Re-e!lforce your approach to government and the vital center that you have hdped to create,
Your ideas are based on an activist/progressJVe approach to the nntion's challenges; your
~elutions are not about mere governmen.t, but about the determination of our people to face
our challenges r:.;sponsibly and to deal with them directly. Onder you, we have, inde!:ld,
begun to reinforce the social contract that says we have responsibilities as well. as nghts. To
this end. I believe it is important that you tak~; this critical time to restate the ba~ic
cmmmtment of your approach to those three essential ideas: Opportunity for alL
Responsibility from all. And a sense of community applied to all our challenges.
The. future is not necessarily fntuxi.~tic.ln focusmg on !he great potential of the n!:IW century,
it i~ crucial that you as President, in pru1icular, prcv:ide anchors ubout how we v1ew and see::k
our destinies as individual~ and a nation. The things we seek- our drearr.s and hopes for
ourselves, our children, our nation and the worlc'- need to he framed as part of our enduring
values and aspirations, ~ot s.omc far-off, exodc unkno'MlS. You have done t.his for a long
time, as you have categori~ed the fundamental purposes ofyour Presidency along the lines of
enduring American objectives:
To keep the Amencan Drear:J. alive for all who an: willing to work for it.
To maint~in America's place as the leading force m the world for peace and freodom and
democncy.
And to make sure that we are always coming together as a cotnmurrity, as One Arm.rica
in our constant striving to fulfill the dream of om founders to be a ''more perfect union."
You could use these three goals as the rr.ain categories cr baskets of this major spe~ch,
framing the larger purposes of your Presidrncy aild your hopes for the uation after you are
out ofof:fiee. They focus us on the long-term hopes ofthe 21'( centu.ty. But they are fruniliar
md rooted in basic aspirarions, espmmllly from the 20'h century.
[I know \hat the speech i~ now framed by Opportunity, Responsibility, Community, which, as
you know, I have always lov~d. In some ways, the t:rree p.dllciples above do, in fact, tneld into
Opportunity (American Dream alive), Respon~ib1lity (each has to work to reap op?OrtW1ity• each
has obligation to whol~;, and America as !lation has responsibility in the world) and Community
(One Atnerica). Either way, you are, in fact, anchoring future hopes to endunng values, which is
what matters.]

�Our work is not done. \V11en he interviewee yolllast month, Lany Kind had a throwaway
line that I thought was perfect for you. He c-alled you "the working l;'~esident," following on
your t'l.ll~ing about getting up r:;very day and liinking about '¥hat you should do to work for
the American people. I'd say "the working President" wouldn't be a bad way to be
remembered- as th~ man who never gave in, who sho'l"ed how to use the job as a relentless
tool to get th.ings done for people and who, quite frankly, made th'il Presidency work for a
whole new age. It is hard, of course, to talk about these things yourself in your speech. I do
thiolc that trying to get some columnist to do something With "the working President" idea
would be great around the time of the speech. But you still might be able to put some a$pt:.ct~
of1he idea into playwil\ a blunt opening to !he speech, a~ folloWS!
"On the night that I Wal'l re---elected to the honor of serving as your Presidsnt, I said to the
American peopl~>: 'We have work to do.' [that •vas, aft~:r all, the core of your election
night speech]. In the time since then, and, indeed, in the years I have been privili::ged to
serve as Presider.t, we have, indeed, worked hard to tal(e many of the crucial steps
necessary for our progresG as anatiorr."
[Then you can provide the lcey list oftho3e things, starting with your economk.-budget
policy. It becomes crucial, here, to show that so much th.at you have done was, by force,
about clearing away the left-over obstacles to progress, suc-h as deficits, a decaying
welfare system, ineffective ways to fight crime, an uncertain aim in our foreign
n::sponsibilities, and, most important, a debilitating sense that, working together, we could
not meet out challenges. Your work has overcome all of this and man:. It'~ important,
too, to remember the new productivity- spurred by the intelligence of our people, the
boldness of our busi.J.1esscs and the revolution in technology- that has made tbis decade
possible. But following all that, you can say we still have to move ahead to build upon
this new, sturdier foundation- a. foundation fit for a new century; we have to build with
policies and ideas that will now provide the means for ow- people to make the most of
their O"-'Illives. Thus:]
"But, despite OW"Jlro~ess, tonight I say to all of you, my f~;~llow .i\lnericans: Our worlc is
!!..Q!.Qo.l!!O.." [The virtue of a line like this as a pivot to yow- policy sections is, at least,
twofold: First, you are definine the future agend11; second, you are making it clear that
your last year is intended as an activist year, not a trip down memory lane. Or, to put it
another way, you will never stop being ''the working President" until the lasr day.J
Issue:J: Among the many yoll. will focus on that an~ crucial this y1:1a.r (Chir:a.fi}."TO, hopefully
Social Security), I also eocouragr:; you to make it clear that one of the important ways you can
kad now is by drawing together many forces i.p, society :md giving them leadership towards
finding the right solutions to Ol!I big challenges. I:n other words, there may not be huge,
centrali~ed fixes to some problems, Dut, in the 21" Century, the President provides the
national leadership m:cessary to move things forward on many level~ and to focus us
collectively on the new challenges. Here are a few suggestions I am aware of:
COPY
�Educatiou. You might cousider using a line Teny and I worked on :in a speech "lVC prepared
for Discovery' a 1ohn Hendricks last year, as e.n umbrella !or how to thick about oducat:ion in
the 21 1tCentury: Our goal should be "to trsnsfunn the Information Age into aN em- Age of
Enlightenment." (I've artached a copy of the speeoh.) Some idt:~as to put behind that rhetoric
could include:
Call for a national conference on how to create "Digital Learning Opporfunity" in the 21"'
Century, pulling togefuer educators, policyrmakers and business leB.de:rs. I am the lead
staff person for this ye~'s CEO Forum on Education !llld Technology, which Hendricks
ch.airs (and which we work on with Tony Podesta). You could use this 'group and others
to pull together DJ.Bjor leaders about how to build on the progress you have already led.
Our stiliools are now, by and large, wired for the :futfmlet and randomwaeeesa video. But
the more vexing question is how we use that connectivity to transfonn the education that
is available to every child in America. There is a great deal of uncertainty and bad foc:UI:i
on these issues. Only you can bring it together, with a national siUllmit.
Support efforts to get collages of education to upgrade their teclmology t:ra.hilisg. The
CEO Fonun also just issued a new technology assessment tool for colleges ofedueatiou
to see how wen they are prepa:red to train the two million new teachers who will come
into the schools; in the next deead.e. Secretary Riley joined us for a press conference last
week. You could endorse the challenge we issued fer every college of educaticn to u9e
this tool to assess its progress by the end of this school year. That will make it possible to
determine what re&oltrees are needed to give teachers the training they need to teach our
children the skills they need to compete and win.
Encourage media literacy training across the Co\Uitcy. Again, Di~~eovery is providing new
media liten!.cy training to every public school in Maryland, After the Littleton sbootin.gs,
rather than rejeet:i.ng outright any responsib!lity as part of the entertaiument industry, 0\.11
approach was to believe we have to give children better tools to judge for themselns
what is good a:o.d nat good about the vast profusion of modi a they have available. We all
want to believe the products of the Inf-ormation Age will be great boons to our children.
But they need to have more understanding of all those thitJ.gs that a:re thrown at them if
they are to make sense ofthem and use them for their own and society's good. Media
literacy training is about helping them to be wise about all of this. (We can discuss this
:further with the policy people if you want.)
Poverty.! believe it is the right time to talk sbout that issue:, precisely in the way you a:re
addressing it with year "New Markets" efforts. One way to keep the discussion fresh and to
dra.w more attention in the next few months would be to cell a natiOUDl summit or White
House confenmce on the issue. I was recently io a discussion with Al::!.chew Young in which
he: and some media business lea.dm said we should consider a National Slliii..t!lit on Poverty,
specifically focused on what businesses that are doing so well should do to unleash greater
llCtivity in the places that ba.ve not yet been touched by the prosperity. You are already doing
so much: Welfare-to-Work, New Markets, BITC, etc:. But calling all kinds of people together
to focus on the next stagt::S will help lift this issue up in a Wlrj that will prod everyone to d.o
more (without assuming the: answer is big government alone) and help the Clinton
Presidency get the credit it deserve~ for putting this issue front-and-center at this tJ:emendau:~.
moment of OpPortunity, I know a number of business leaden who are ready to help make this
hapPen.
Finally, as I sutipect you will be doing, I hope: you will end your speech on a gre!l.t call for
community and tolerance, much a.s you did on New Year's. Some kind of related representatitm
