CNN poll: 48 percent had 'very positive' reaction to Trump speech (70% overall positive)
The Hill ^ | Jan 31, 2018

Posted on 01/30/2018 11:19:11 PM PST by 11th_VA

Nearly half of those who watched President Trump's State of the Union address on Tuesday reacted "very" positively to the speech, according to a snap CNN/SSRS poll.

According to that survey, the results of which were announced on-air on CNN, 48 percent of respondents said they had a "very positive" reaction to the speech — Trump's first since taking office. Only 22 percent said they had a "somewhat positive" reaction to the speech, while 29 percent reacted negatively.

The results of that poll came less than two hours after Trump finished delivering his speech, in which he touted the tax cuts and regulatory rollbacks of his first year in office and outlined his ambitions to revitalize the nation's infrastructure and take on immigration reform.

Sixty-two percent of respondents said that the policies outlined by the president on Tuesday would move the country in the right direction, according to the CNN/SSRS poll. By comparison, 35 percent said they would move it in the wrong direction.

The beginning of the end for Americas domestic enemies. Us patriots are like ferocious lions and hungry crocodiles who are ready to go savage them and tear them apart.

but make no mistake, the Democrat response to the SOTU was a big FU to Americans and open door mat to illegals.

It was. I was shocked. I still can not get over my reaction to their behavior. It left me scared for what will happen to this country once they are back in power. I want to know what independents and the few sane Dems left thought of their behavior.

They are going to have to prosecute the illegal behavior of the Obama years to get the US back under the rule of law (including lawmakers and government employees) or we are done once the Dems are in control again.

Yeah, and I’m for some reason still watching CNN...there’s Dana Bash saying “for a President who doesn’t like polls, he’s going to glom onto these polls”.

The same crew we saw melting down on November 8, 2016.

I went to a progressive web site last night. They are critical of Cory, Kamala, and Pocohantus, because they all supported Hillary. They want a candidate that supported Bernie ....

The whole party sat for God, the flag, parents of children murdered by illegals(some actually booed!), blacks and hispanics getting jobs and on and on. To me it was horrifying but then the first State of the Union I remember paying attention to was Carter. You were always at least polite and stood when you could agree on something like God and patriotism. What I saw tonight were a political party ready to go to war if they could to control all and without a shred of morals left or willingness to follow the laws of the land to temper them. Yes, their response to me scared the daylights out of me. That is why I am so interested in how others read tonight.

For me tonight Trump gave a very nice speech but my mind keeps going back to the Dems as being what was important. I really hope I am wrong,.

I do not get the whole Bernie thing once you really watch him. You have to be really dumb to watch these people on the left and think they are socialist because they actually care. They are socialist and in politics because they want to be the slave masters and it shows in their faces. He is a nasty little man when you watch his face....it always shocks me how much leftist love him. I do not get it.

As one third of the angels fell from heaven, it appears the Congressmen labeled “Democrat’ are following their lead.

Anyone else note the subtle spin in the top graphic and the reporting? They split very positive and somewhat positive but lumped together all negative. If they lumped together all positive it would be 70% vs 29%.

Trump almost seems like a superhero at this point. What happens when the memo is released?

He turns into a Super Saiyan.

NOTHING was more telling than the thunderous applause from the Republican side when President Trump stated the black unemployment numbers were at an all time low in the history of the US and the camera showed a pretty wide angle of black dems sitting stone cold still with absolutely NO expression on their faces !

Is there ANY doubt at this point that liberalism a mental disorder ?

The Democrat party died last night.

Immediately saw it! and the bottom one is even more interesting, considering the hatred of Trump from Democrats.
