A CNN poll of viewers who watched President Joe Biden’s first joint address to Congress found that 51% of them had a “very positive” reaction — less than the 57% who had a “very positive” reaction to President Donald Trump’s speech in 2017.

Moreover, Biden underperformed Trump even though the audience for Wednesday night’s speech skewed Democratic.

CNN reported:

The 51% who had a very positive reaction to Biden’s speech is a bit more muted than reaction to the first address from other recent presidents. Barack Obama had the strongest first outing of the last four presidents, with 68% saying they had a very positive reaction to his speech, and George W. Bush in 2001 earned a similar 66% very positive. Fewer — 57% — had a very positive reaction to Donald Trump’s 2017 address. …

The audience of speech-watchers was a friendly one for Biden, as is typical of presidential addresses to Congress. Overall, the pool of people who watched the speech was about 13 points more Democratic than the general public and about 2 points less Republican. That tilt is similar to the partisan makeup of speech audiences for Obama’s final three State of the Union addresses.

The margin of error was 5.4%

In 2017, CNN commentator Van Jones acknowledged the power of Trump’s address, saying it was the moment he truly “became president”:

You could only feel positive about Biden’s speech if you are a radical, far-left Socialist.

That's a CNN poll so, it is probably a lot less.

That’s a terrible number for an original address to congress despite 80 million “supposedly” voting for this guy

[exnavy]

Only democrats watch cnn or respond to their polls, not impressive.

What speech?

[PubliusMM]

13% oversampled dhimmicraps versus undersampled by 2% of ‘republicans’ who watch CNN (translates as ‘dhimmicrap’).

Go figger!

I could not stomach listening to the senile old lecher. Nearly tossed my cookies at the contrived ‘grampa’ voice inflections and his haughty attempts at forceful oration.

There is NO WAY this clown and his trained seal got 80 million votes. NO WAY.

When you allow for the 27/7 trashing Trump got from the media and the slobbering adulation pedo joe got from the same media (and this is a lolcnn poll) it highlights just how awful his numbers really are.

***51% Had ‘Very Positive’ Reaction To Biden Speech***

Since only Democrats and Journalists watched the speech, why wasn’t it 100%? Inquiring minds want to know.

There was some disturbing background noise while i was intent on doing business work, so i downloaded and played Mark Knopfler/EmmyLou Harris “All The Roadrunning”, especially ‘Why Worry”. Loud enough, yet calming. And play again today in the truck.

[FroggyTheGremlim]

He said “We the People are the Government.”

He actually said that. No kidding.

[Tilted Irish Kilt]

Talk of bi-partisan participation is cheap,
especially when actions declare something else !

[AustinBill]

Yup, that's the beauty of percentages, which often conceal more than they reveal. Aside from audience composition, the other missing piece is how many actually saw Joe's teleprompter performance? Estimates suggest Biden drew just over half the size of Trump's 2017 first Congressional address audience, and one can assume that meager result has been heavily padded and rounded up to try to give the impression that anyone cared about what Joe was told to read.
