72 percent of viewers had positive reaction to Biden speechCNN flash poll
"More than 7 in 10 viewers of President Biden’s State of the Union address had at least a somewhat positive reaction to the speech, according to a CNN flash poll.
The poll found 72 percent of watchers had a positive view of the speech, with 34 percent saying it was very positive. It reported that 28 percent of watchers viewed the speech negatively, with 10 percent saying it was very negative.
CNN noted in a release that presidential addresses tend to attract viewers who are more supportive of the president, and those who watched overall identified as 8 points more Democratic than the general public. But that is still less leaning in favor of one party than the audience that watched Biden’s prior two addresses before Congress and several of former President Trump’s addresses.
The overall approval number for Biden’s speech is in line with the approval for previous speeches, just above the 71 percent positive review he received last year and just below the 78 percent positive review he received in 2021.
But the percentage of people who said they had a “very positive” reaction to Biden’s speech was lower than his most recent predecessors. "
