Democrats desperate to take the wind out of President Donald Trump's sails and torpedo his State of the Union address Tuesday with heckles, boycotts, and low-energy critiques may be upset to learn that the Americans who tuned in were overwhelmingly receptive to the speech and its contents.
A CNN poll found that a near-supermajority of "speech-watchers" said that Trump's policies will move the country in the right direction.
David Chalian, the network's political director, told talking head Jake Tapper, "64% say Trump's policies would move the country in the right direction, 36% say the wrong direction."
"Look at the growth President Trump made over the speech," said Chalian. "So pre-speech, it was 54% of speech-watchers said his policies will move the U.S. in the right direction. After the speech, that number goes up 10 percentage points. So Donald Trump made some progress with people watching the speech from their pre-speech expectations to what they saw in the speech itself."
Trump said a great deal on the policy front:
his tariffs might one day "substantially replace the modern-day system of income tax";
legislation should be passed "barring any state from granting commercial driver's licenses to illegal aliens";
he is "restoring American security and dominance in the Western Hemisphere, acting to secure our national interests and defend our country from violence, drugs, terrorism, and foreign interference";
he prefers a diplomatic resolution to mounting tensions with Iran;
he is "ending the wildly inflated costs of prescription drugs";
his administration is leaning on major tech companies to provide for their own power needs;
he is "making it easier for Americans to save for retirement"; and
he is keeping "large Wall Street investment firms from buying up, in the thousands, single-family homes."
In an apparent effort to reassure the network's liberal viewers, Chalian suggested that "it is a much more Republican universe that got polled here because Republicans tune in in greater numbers for a Republican president's State of the Union address."
Chalian added that CNN's "poll of the overall electorate is the exact opposite of that."
A CNN poll conducted last week found that 38% of respondents said that the policies being proposed by Trump would move the country in the right direction, and 61% said they would move the country in the wrong direction.

Wow...64% in a CNN poll? Probably means it’s actually higher than that!
That’s what I was thinking. Democrats really showed the world what they’re all about during that speech, and even the VERY SLOWEST VOTER AND TAXPAYER could not have helped but notice.
I would like to say “The Democrat party is DOOMED!” but their globalist masters have enough money to keep them in the game. (That’s the sad part.)
It was a master stroke when Trump challenged them to stand up for Americans over illegals. The republicans were quick to come out with the commercial with the democrats walking right into the trap, as the president knew they would.
The SOTU was a hell of a lot more fun and entertaining than the Puerto Rican Bugs Bunny’s MFL Stupor Bowel, Half Time, Clown show.
He was in his element.
The MSM has 249 days before the elections to hammer and lie about the Administration and the Republicans. To most people, the outstanding State of the Union will be a distant memory.
This won’t mean anything on election day unless Republicans show up and vote and Republicans field good candidates who raise good issues.
Too true. But maybe this will incentivize the Party hacks to fight for a change. They should have the money to pull out all the stops this year.
“that the Americans who tuned in were overwhelmingly receptive”
Unfortunately only a small percentage of the public tuned in. Those who didn’t will be told repeatedly that Trump praised Epstein, called for white supremacy, and gave the Nazi salute.
FNC’s official dumbass, Bill Hammer is already calling the celebration by the USA hockey team a political event. I remember the 80s well. The celebration for the win over the Russkis went on forever. Walt Disney even made a movie about it. Hemmer needs to STFU. The Hockey team can celebrate for as long as it wants. Screw the DemonRATS if they were rooting for Canada and other foreign hockey teams, that’s their problem.
That was one of the most partiotic speeches ever and the anti-Americans hated it.
The article buried the lede. The key is the last sentence.
The NeverTrumpers know the Hockey team celebration was devistating to the Dims.
The MSM will take care of this spouting negative things
over and over in the coming weeks, months, and years.
It’s incredibly noticeable that local to national news
reports state things as part of their topic introduction
that are patently false. Going in, you’re already in
the land of Leftist make believe, even before you get to
the current set of skewed facts.
I’m replaying the game right now. It was awesome.
The RATS were rooting for the Canada hockey team too. The are all around losers.
A TDS cretin on Facebook explained this 64% positive away as follows (paraphrased LOL):
“Trump is hated so badly by the population that nobody watched the SOTU other than hardcore MAGAT’s”
“Therefore 36% of Bad Orange Man’s ever-shrinking base of support even isn’t buying the fascism/racism/sexism that he’s selling anymore”
To quote a very perceptive man: “THESE PEOPLE ARE CRAZY!”
Now if we can just stop with the Israel sideshow.
“A CNN poll conducted last week found”
That was last week, so irrelevant to the impact of the SOTU speech.
