Axios: “Most people who watched President Biden’s maiden address to a joint session of Congress approved of the message and were left feeling optimistic, according to two polls taken immediately following the speech. Those polled signaled they felt more optimistic about the country after watching the speech, during which Biden laid out a progressive vision for big government. Data in both polls suggest the speech had a more friendly, Democratic viewership.”
“85% of those who watched the speech approved of it, while 15% disapproved, per a CBS News poll. 78% of viewers said they came away feeling more optimistic about the country. 74% of people in the poll said they believe the plans Biden laid out would help them, while 85% said they like his plan to create jobs. A CNN Poll conducted by SSRS found that 51% of respondents said they had a very positive reaction to the speech, fewer than any other modern president in the same poll. But 71% in the poll said they felt more optimistic about the country after watching it.”
