The eureka perk states "approval boost after discovering new technology and +30 research".  I was researching armed shuttles at the time (which required less than 30 research to complete).  When I picked the I got the +30 research completing armed shuttles however the approval rating on my capital (I only have 1 core world at the moment) remained the same.  I moused over each citizen and didn't see indication of a new approval boost. 

I can provide a saved file if necessary.
