Americans are with the President.
According to a CNN poll, a majority of Americans who watched President Trump’s address to the joint session of Congress approved of his message.
From Fox News:
The poll found that 69% of speech-watchers said they viewed the president’s speech as at least somewhat positive, compared to just 31 % who viewed the speech negatively.
Broken down further, 44% of viewers said they had a “very positive” reaction to the speech, in addition to 25% who had a “somewhat positive” reaction. For those who disapproved, 15% said they saw the speech as “somewhat negative,” and 16% described it as “very negative.”
Pollsters noted that speech-watchers comprise a small portion of the U.S., however, and also noted the small sample size of 431 respondents. The poll advertised a margin of error of 5.3%.
“Among the entire sample, 21% described themselves as Democrats, 44% described themselves as Republicans, and 35% described themselves as independents or members of another party,” CNN noted.
