President Trump’s State of the Union has been a smashing success according to polls, with 76% approving. CBS News reports:
Seventy-six % of Americans who tuned in to President Trump’s State of the Union address Tuesday night approved of the speech he gave. Just 24 % disapproved.
As is often the case in State of the Union addresses, the people who watched tonight’s speech leaned more towards the president’s own party, at least compared to Americans overall. In the latest CBS national poll released last month, 25% of Americans identified themselves as Republicans. Among those who watched Tuesday night’s address, that figure was 43%, and Republicans helped bolster the overall approval of the address.
And while 97% of Republicans approved of the speech, far fewer Democrats who tuned in did (30% ). Most independents did approve.
Fifty-six% of Americans who watched tonight feel the president’s speech will do more to unite the country, rather than divide it, although 36 percent don’t think it will change things much.
This is a critical time for the President, who can build on this good will to pass additional bipartisan legislation.
