In the wake of President Donald Trump’s first address to the joint session of Congress as 47th President of the United States, a new poll from CBS News and YouGov found that 76 percent of viewers approved of his speech.
The poll, conducted after Trump’s Tuesday night address, found that 76 percent of viewers approved of Trump’s address, while 23 percent disapproved.
CBS News noted that respondents to the survey skewed Republican, as "historically a president's party draws more of their own partisans." 51 percent of poll takers identified as Republicans, 27 percent identified as independents, and 20 percent identified as Democrats.

Trump was both "presidential" and "entertaining" during his speech, with 74 percent of viewers responding as such for each word. Viewers also said Trump was "inspiring," with 71 percent responding as such, and 62 percent said that Trump was "unifying." An additional 46 percent said that Trump was "divisive" during his speech.
The majority of viewers said that Trump spent "a lot" of time talking about the issues they cared about, with 28 percent saying Trump spent "a little" time on such issues and nine percent saying he spent no time at all on those issues.
Viewers said that Trump does have a clear plan for inflation, with 68 percent responding as such, and 68 percent said that Trump described the current crime problem as "about as it is." An additional 22 percent said he described it "worse than it really is," while 10 percent said he described "not as bad as it really is."
Moments into Trump’s speech, Rep Al Green was removed from the chamber for causing a disruption after repeated warnings not to do so. On that action, 76 percent of viewers said they approved of his removal."
The poll was conducted on Tuesday night of 1,207 American adults who watched Trump’s address and has a margin of error of 3.4 percent.
