President Donald Trump's first address to Congress received largely
positive reviews from viewers, with 57% who tuned in saying they had a
very positive reaction to the speech, according to a new CNN/ORC poll of
speech-watchers.
His speech was very unifying and positive.
Nearly 7-in-10 who watched said the President's
proposed policies would move the country in the right direction and
almost two-thirds said the president has the right priorities for the
country. Overall, about 7-in-10 said the speech made them feel more
optimistic about the direction of the country.
On specific issues, Trump scored the highest marks for his proposed
policies on the economy, with 72% saying those went in the right
direction. Almost as many, 70%, said the same about his terrorism
proposals. Slightly fewer, but still a majority, felt his policies on
taxes (64%), immigration (62%) or health care (61%) were heading in the
right direction.
Ideologically, about two-thirds saw Trump's speech as about right, while
roughly on-quarter (26%) pegged it as too conservative. Just 8% said it
wasn't conservative enough.
He asked for Police and Sheriffs, and community members to unify and make America safe.
He also asked for Democrats and Republicans to work together to make America Great Again
