Yesterday, President Bush held a defiant news conference in the White House Rose Garden in which he challenged congressional Democrats to send him an Iraq war funding bill without a timetable for pulling out U.S. troops. We asked our partners at MediaCurves to play a key clip from Bush's news conference to a survey group and record their reactions. You can watch the results by clicking on the video player below.

MediaCurves News Graphs are compiled by market-research firm HCD Research. HCD surveys people over the Internet by allowing participants to rate a video as they watch it on their computers; HCD then displays the results on a graph as the video plays. In this case, HCD played a clip of Bush's news conference for a group of 609 Democrats, Republicans, and independents. Participants were asked to rate their level of agreement with what President Bush was saying at any given moment on a sliding scale that ranges from 100 percent (total agreement) to -100 percent (total disagreement). Each colored graph represents the average of the responses from everyone of that party affiliation.
