Trump earns largely positive speech reaction, but ejected Dem’s behavior widely deemed inappropriate: CNN poll

A majority of speech viewers (69%) had a very or somewhat positive reaction to President Donald Trump’s Tuesday address before a joint session of Congress, according to a CNN poll by SSRS.

While 44% indicated that they had a “Very positive” reaction to the speech, 25% felt “Somewhat positive,” 16% had a “Very negative” reaction and 15% had a “Somewhat negative” reaction to the address.

“A total of 431 adults nationwide were surveyed via text message,” according to a document about the poll. “Among the entire sample, 21% described themselves as Democrats, 44% described themselves as Republicans, and 35% described themselves as independents or members of another party,” the document notes. “The margin of sampling error for total respondents is +/-5.3 at the 95% confidence level.”

Rep. Al Green, D-Texas, who was removed from the event for being disruptive, did not fare well in the court of public opinion.

A whopping 80% found Green’s behavior to be inappropriate, while just 20% felt it was appropriate, according to the poll.
