While the sample included a higher percentage of Republicans, the strong support from Independents suggests that the speech was well received beyond Trump’s base.

The poll also indicated that 66 percent of viewers believed Trump’s policies would move the country in the right direction—a five-point increase from a pre-speech survey.

Regarding confidence in President Trump’s leadership, 73 percent of respondents expressed at least some level of confidence.

Specific policy areas also saw strong approval ratings, with 76 percent supporting his immigration policies, 62 percent backing his economic policies, and 61 percent approving of his foreign policy approach.

His stance on tariffs received 56 percent approval.

The CNN poll also showed that Rep. Green’s interruption did not sit well with the public. According to the survey, 80 percent of respondents disapproved of his actions during the speech.

The partisan composition of the CNN survey was 44 percent Republicans, 21 percent Democrats, and 35 percent Independents.

Once again, the strong support from Independents suggests that Trump’s address had a broad appeal.

The poll results indicate that the key issues President Trump highlighted—such as the economy, immigration, and national security—remain priorities for American voters.

His remarks on these topics appear to have strengthened public confidence in his leadership.

The approval ratings also highlight a challenge for Democrats, who faced criticism for their conduct during the speech.

With many voters, including Independents, responding positively to Trump’s message, the political landscape ahead may become increasingly difficult for Democrat lawmakers who continue to oppose the administration’s policies.
