Seventy-five percent of viewers approve of Trump’s first State of the Union address.

 

CBS News asked speech watchers for their instant reaction to the State of the Union address and so found that 75% of them viewed it favorable.

But as is often the case with 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 earlier this month, 24 percent of Americans who were contacted identified themselves as Republicans. 

 

Among those who watched President Trump’s State of the Union address, however, 42 percent of the viewers described themselves as Republicans and thereby surely also so bolstered the overall approval rating of it.

Even so, even CNN found that 70% of viewers viewed President Trump’s State of the Union address favorably.

 

in turn, will President Trump soon also see his near record-setting unfavorable ratings dip during the next polling cycle?
