President Donald Trump’s State of the Union address drew strong support from viewers Tuesday night, according to a CNN poll conducted by SSRS, reinforcing that his message on border security and economic reform continues to resonate with his base.
Nearly two-thirds of those who watched said they had at least a somewhat positive reaction to the speech, with 38% describing their response as very positive. While media outlets were quick to note the audience skewed Republican, that has long been the case for State of the Union viewers, who typically tune in because they are engaged and invested.
More importantly, Trump appears to have strengthened confidence among those watching.
