Following President Biden's recent State of the Union address, a CNN flash poll revealed that 64% of viewers had a positive reaction, with 35% expressing a very positive view. This approval rating, while significant, is the lowest for any State of the Union speech since at least 1998. Prior to the speech, only 45% felt Biden's policies would move the country in the right direction, but post-speech, this number jumped to 62%, marking a 17-point increase. Despite the overall positive reception, Biden faces challenges, particularly among independent voters, in convincing them of his fitness for a second term. Notably, Biden's current job approval rating stands at 38%. The poll also highlighted a partisan skew in viewership.
Washington Post: “The 65 percent who had a positive view of the speech was actually lower than any such speech CNN has polled in the past quarter-century — the previous low being Donald Trump’s 2018 address (70 percent).” https://t.co/0WTd8nzGly
