A CNN/SSRS poll of state of the union (SOTU) viewers conducted Feb. 24 after President Donald Trump’s speech shows largely positive ratings from viewers. SOTU viewers overall gave President Donald Trump positive marks on his agenda for the country, the economy, immigration, and handling foreign policy and the U.S. military, according to the survey’s findings.
Though the audience was disproportionately Republican and independent — CNN noted the audience was 41 percent Republican, 41 percent independent and just 18 percent Democrat — the positive bump President Trump received from swing voters should not be discounted.
Among those who gave President Trump credit were college-educated voters, a group that has been notoriously critical of Republicans in recent election cycles, but a group that has shown marked movement back toward the GOP since last year.
The survey found voters said by 28 points — 64 percent to 36 percent — that the policies President Trump proposed during his SOTU speech will move the country in the right direction. This was a bump in positive sentiment compared to how likely viewers felt pre-speech when polled Feb. 17-20. Pre-speech, just 54 percent of likely viewers thought President Trump’s policies would move the country in the right direction, meaning the president earned a ten-point bump after his speech.
College-educated voters said the policies President Trump proposed Tuesday will move the country in a positive direction by ten points, 55 percent to 45 percent.
