Most speech-watchers had a positive reaction following President Trump’s first speech addressing Congress, according to a CNN/ORC poll.
The survey showed that 57% had a very positive reaction to the speech, while 21% had a somewhat positive reaction, adding up to 78% positive overall.
Only 21% of those who watched the speech had a “negative” reaction.
“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.”
