It was so good to watch a State of the Union that left me feeling good about my country and the man in charge. Best President of my lifetime and that includes Reagan.
how come this 97/43/72 GOP/Dems/Ind Approve graphic is not in the CBS link posted in this thread?
30 Jan: Breitbart: Poll: 75% Approve of Trumps State of the Union Address
by Joel B. Pollak
However, Trump showed unusually high approval numbers even among Democrats who watched:
CBS News Poll: Approve of speech (Among speech watchers)
Republicans 97%; Democrats 43%; Independents 72%
Many pundits who are normally critical of the president were singing his praises. Frank Luntz, for example, was deeply moved and mocked the Democratic response delivered by Rep. Joe Kennedy III (D-MA):
TWEET: Frank Luntz: Tonight, I owe Donald Trump an apology. Tonight, I was moved and inspired. Tonight, I have hope and faith in America again.
It may go away tomorrow
But tonight, America is great again. #SOTU
Update: A CNN poll showed a similar result, with 70% of viewers expressing a positive or very positive reaction to Trumps speech.
