Roughly
three-quarters of respondents who watched President Trump’s State of the Union address approved of his speech, according to CNN and CBS News polls released late
Tuesday.
Seventy-six percent
approved of the speech in the CBS poll, with 24 percent saying they
disapproved. About 59 percent of respondents to the CNN poll had a very
positive reaction to the speech, while 17 percent said they had a somewhat
positive reaction. Roughly one-quarter — 23 percent — had a negative
reaction in that survey.
However, a significantly
higher proportion of Tuesday’s viewers were Republicans, compared to the
population at large, reflecting a trend that more State of the Union viewers
tend to be members of the president’s party.
About 43 percent of
respondents in the CBS poll identified themselves as Republicans, while 24
percent said they were Democrats and 30 percent identified as independents. In
a CBS poll released last month, 25 percent of those surveyed said they were
Republicans.
CNN respondents were also
17 percent more likely to identify as Republicans than the general population,
and 61 percent told CNN before the speech they already approved of the job
Trump is doing as president, a figure about 20 points higher than his national
approval rating.
Approval of the speech was
starkly divided along partisan lines. Almost all of Republicans who tuned in —
97 percent — approved of the president’s speech, according to CBS News,
while only 30 percent of Democrats said the same. About 82 percent of
independents in that survey who watched the speech liked what they heard.
About 87 percent of
Republicans told CNN they had a very positive reaction to the speech, while 64 percent
of Democrats had a very or somewhat negative response.
Trump Tuesday night
hopscotched between calling for bipartisanship and national unity and doubling
down on hot-button issues such as immigration and abortion.

Trump Tuesday night
hopscotched between calling for bipartisanship and national unity and doubling
down on hot-button issues such as immigration and abortion. “I stand here
ready to work with you to achieve historic breakthroughs for all Americans,”
Trump said, adding later that “countless Americans are murdered by criminal
illegal aliens.”
Only a third, 33 percent,
of respondents, however, told CBS they believed Trump and Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) will work together more after the speech, while
63 percent said there would not be much change in their working
relationship.
The CBS News survey polled
1,472 adults who watched the State of the Union address and has a margin of
error of 3 percentage points.
The CNN poll surveyed 584
adults who watched the State of the Union address and has a margin of error of
5.4 percentage points.
