And a similar 62 percent said his policies on immigration — he spoke of sealing the border, ending catch-and-release and deporting criminal illegal aliens — would move the country in the right direction, including 92 percent of Republicans, 54 percent of independents and 12 percent of leaning-Democrats.

And a similar 62 percent said his policies on immigration — he spoke of sealing the border, ending catch-and-release and deporting criminal illegal aliens — would move the country in the right direction, including 92 percent of Republicans, 54 percent of independents and 12 percent of leaning-Democrats.

It was an overall favorable reception for the speech, but it was also a favorable audience: 41 percent Republican, 41 percent independent and just 18 percent Democrat, typical of State of the Union addresses, where the incumbent party is overrepresented, and the opposition party underrepresented.

Meaning, it was an audience that was more open to the President, and disproportionately included supporters who had voted for him, but still with some opposition watching, too.

Whether it results in the President getting a bump in approval ahead of the Congressional midterms in November — Presidents with higher approval tend to lose fewer seats — remains to be seen, but it also shows the Trump still has the ability to wield the bully pulpit to move public opinion.

A scripted event such as the State of the Union provides possibly the widest possible audience for such a rhetorical moment, but much of the impact will depend on just how large the audience was. How many millions of Americans were watching? The more, the greater the persuasion power, the fewer, the more who have already written off the President.

If nothing else, the outcome should demonstrate to the White House that when the President stays on message, he can indeed move the needle. Whether this is the start of a more disciplined President headed onto the campaign trail in 2026, or not, it shows that Trump is 100 percent in control of that outcome. It’s called the bully pulpit for a reason.

Holy shit. And it's a CNN poll so it's more like 84%

Not a source, faggot.

>>1491988
The real source is a CNN poll, non-article reader.

>>1491981
These shills working so hard to cover for Trump’s Falling popularity. This poll asked a specific question “will the policies he mentioned help the USA?”

Of course they will. If he wasn’t a fucking liar. He lied over and over. Fact checking shows he lies hundreds of times. He could have said everyone gets a pony and a mansion and 100% of people would have said that would help the country. Doesn’t mean I should start clearing room for my horse.

But these Russian troll bots that spam 4chan have to support Trump so he gives power to Putin to invade his neighbors while Trump makes billions off us.

Got any polls not rigged by the far right?

>>1492128
>Among the entire sample, 18% described themselves as Democrats, 41% described themselves as Republicans, and 41% described themselves as independents or members of another party.

>The benchmarks for party identification crosses were taken from CNN's national poll conducted by SSRS via web and phone from May 5-26,2025, which implemented a full probability design via Address-Based Sampling (ABS) and prepaid (pay-as-you-go) cell phone numbers (PPD). The recontact sample (those who plan to watch the presidential speech and agree to be recontacted) was pre-weighted to match sample demographics of the target population of all presidential speech-watchers.

I don't get how they reconcile these (unless dems just don't watch the sotu much.)

>>1492132
Its not that the poll is rigged, its that the only people dumb enough to watch Trump lie on the SOTU are magats and people betting on Trumps incompetence, and the latter aren't doing surveys

>>1492132
I love this retarded horseshit recurring spam no one, not even you, believes.

Oh so we are going with the argument that "all polls are rigged and CNN is watched exclusively by the maga crowd"

Holy crap the cope is so thick you could pave a highway with it

do you read all of trump's tweets too

americans are low iq cattle so it's no suprise

Don't understand all the methodology but it looks to me like it's biased toward hopium. It's got Biden with better numbers except in 2024. It's got Trump 1.0 with better numbers except in 2018.

>>1492136
It's basically "You live in a blue city? YOU MUST BE DEMOCRAT" and is more proof data harvesting is the most useless metric of information imaginable

>>1492128
Wow looking down about 10 pages down or so at people's opinion of the economic policies laid out during these speeches, there was not a single year where people thought Biden laid out better economic policy than Trump
What was bidens economic policy anyways? Free government bailouts for people based on their skin color?

>>1492164
The inflation reduction act was his crowning achievement
>>1486447
I'm not sure it lowered the actual inflation rate though

>>1492164
wow, a shill agrees with other shills? amazing

Its weird how internet chuds are still seething that Biden was a better pick for president than Trump

It's weird how the cnn polling shows that Americans who watch sotu addresses all though that trump presented better economic policy than Biden, in every single speech

>>1492174
it's hilarious that you're one of the myriad trump shills trying to save face for the administration

>>1492175
>jealous that Biden will never be as popular as Trump is with pedophiles and pedophile enablers

The neonazi socialists really are imploding at the recent news that 2/3 of Americans believed the policies laid out in trumps SoTU address will move the country in the right direction

64 percent of the people who viewed the state of the union adress are not the same as 64 percent of the us population.

People who are fond of trump are more likely to view his speeches. People who dislike him are more likely to ignore it.

>>1492178
I suspect you are not American at all.

>>1492179
Yes Democrats get their politics from late night comedy shows supported by advertisers.
The idea that a Democrat would watch the SOTU is absolutely insane.

What are you talking about this time?

It's obvious enough 2/3rds of the speeches' audience is not the same as 2/3 of the country. Why would a right wing shill confuse the issue? Because they have to. They can't win with the truth, reality apparently has a left wing bias.

What I'd like to point out that no one else has is it doesn't matter if the fascist pedophile had 100% approval ratings, that is a shitty metric for how he is managing the country, especially when the bulk of what he said is obviously, demonstrably false.

Maga, you are a fugly land whale at the bar at 2am. Trump just told you you're beautiful. You aren't, he just wants to get his whiskey dick wet. You're morons with no shame.

>>1492136
>41% of viewers are Trump supporters who said the speech was good
>41% were independents, and let's be honest it's likely a lot of independents who already lean right, half of them said the speech was good
there's the ~60% approval of the speech

Keep it up, ESL fag!

So basically only magats and journalists watched it

I mean, if the Democrats would commit to removing all the Mexicans from the country we'd consider voting in a less partisan manner, but we're one-issue voters and we didn't elect Trump for his moral fiber. We elected him to remove the Mexicans. Its working out well so far.

>>1492293

Nah, we've seen how right wingers run everything into the ground.
Also CNNis right wing.

Ahem, Hillary Clinton says the Democrats let in too many immigrants.
Trumps policy was that too many immigrants had been let in.
Hillary agrees with Trumps policy.
How are you going to wiggle out of that one, you retarded little moron?
Obama is on record saying he was going to tighten the border and remove all the ilegal immigrants that he can.
Trumps policy is the exact same thing.
Let me see you wiggle some more, you retarded little moron.
You really are not very good at this, are you? You retarded little moron.

>>1492298
>Also CNNis right wing.
Are you rehearsing for a future role as Gregory Anton?

>>1492352
Yeah but after Obama left office the fags took over the Democrat party and decided they need to stock their rape dungeons with untraceable Latin bussy at all costs.
Therefore, Democrats are now 100% pro-illegal immigration as the party is run by fag money almost exclusively at this point.

>>1492393
Indeed. I tried stocking my rape dungeon with US citizens. It didn't really work.
So now I stick to no papers folk.
And all the IDIOT South American fuckwits just ASSUME these men died crossing the Rio Grande.
Fucking retards lol.

>>1491985
The majority of Americans support Trump. That's the truth. They see camps and they see safety and purity.

>Bitch, he cancelled the snap benefits
That's a good thing. It encourages people to pick themselves up or those who are too lazy and useless to die off. The thing about social safety nets is that they entangle, not catch. The reason America remains the number one economy is because it does not foolishly fund shit like socialized healthcare or nanny state coddling.

>>1492417
>It encourages people to pick themselves up or those who are too lazy and useless to die off.
Spoiled retard has no idea how poverty works.

>>1492419
Most of the people advocating for the elimination of all government services are the poor, so I say let them have it. If they want a government that will give the corps infinite money whenever they need it while not giving a penny for the poor, why not?

>>1492419
IKR, just raise taxes.
BOOM! Poverty solved!
You're welcome.

>>1492420
I choose neither, but thanks for the false dichotomy.

>>1492174
Any person who can sit through a full speech from that bumbling retard is just as checked out as he is.

>>1491981
crime is down, he's actively blackmailing big pharma ceos to move back to the states and lower costs, it was funny seeing the whitehouse press where the phizer ceo was acting like trump had him at gunpoint. and now he's actively dealing with the domestic terrorists.
all people who hate him fall into one of the above or are just mega leftist propaganda bootlickers who should just be put into reducation camps.

2/3 of Americans is not the same thing as 2/3rds of the Nielson Rated Viewers you slack jawed faggot
