CBS Poll: Most Americans Approve Of President’s Speech - President Trump’s theme of uniting the country in his first State of the Union address seems to have struck a chord.
A CBS News poll run by YouGov shows that 75-percent of people who responded approved of the speech, while only 25-percent disapproved.
Among the findings, 8-in10 Americans felt the president was trying to unite the country rather than divide it. Two-thirds say they felt proud, but just a third say it made them feel safer.
About 42-percent of those who watched the address were Republicans, while 33-percent were Independents and 25-precent Democrats. CBS notes that the party of the president giving the speech is typically the biggest crowd watching.
Over half of Democrats who watched the speech felt angry. Most viewers thought the policies they heard would help them personally.Source: CBS News
