President Donald Trump delivered his first State of the Union address since his triumphant return in 2024’s presidential election on Tuesday night and television viewers liked what they saw.
A CNN Instant Poll taken in the immediate aftermath confirmed that fact with some 64 percent of those polled affirming Trump is moving the country in the right direction.
Pre-speech only 54 percent of watchers said he was moving the country to their liking such was the impact of his words and deeds.
This result confounded critics who CNN’s own Abby Phillip who sneered at the president.
She called Trump bestowing the Presidential Medal of Freedom, two Medals of Honor, two Purple Hearts, and the Legion of Merit “gameshow type moments” that “he had to do” because his other messages are a “hard pill for Americans to swallow.”
Clearly viewers felt otherwise.
