YUGE NUMBERS: Viewers approve of Trump’s first State of the Union address.
Three in four Americans who tuned in to President Trump’s State of the Union address tonight approved of the speech he gave. Just a quarter disapproved.
Eight in 10 Americans who watched tonight felt that the president was trying to unite the country, rather than divide it. Two-thirds said the speech made them feel proud, though just a third said it made them feel safer. Fewer said the speech made them feel angry or scared.
The optics aren’t good for Democrats who sat and scowled for almost everything garnering numbers like those.
