Here's what I found on CNN:

Roughly 7 in 10 speech-watchers said they had at least a somewhat positive reaction to Trump’s speech tonight, with a smaller 44% offering a very positive response. That’s lower than the 57% of viewers who rated Trump’s initial address to Congress very positively eight years ago, or the 51% who said the same of President Joe Biden’s initial address in 2021. It also comes just below the 48% “very positive” rating Trump saw for his 2018 State of the Union.

Good marks from speech-watchers are typical for presidential addresses to Congress, which tend to attract generally friendly audiences that disproportionately hail from presidents’ own parties. In CNN’s speech reaction polls, which have been conducted most years dating back to the Clinton era, audience reactions have always been positive.

The pool of people who watched Trump speak on Tuesday was about 14 percentage points more Republican than the general public.

Yep, speech-watchers being the key word here. I will typically watch the SOTU, even when it is a republican president. But I very intentionally did not watch one minute of it. It also seems that media and sm users are intentionally not showing clips from it.

But at the beginning Trump recognized Musk for DOGE. I thought they were trying to say Musk wasn't in charge of DOGE. Which is it?

Just provable lie after lie.

Not a Trump voter but gas prices are very low right now where I live.

These people are the most craven among us. They know that supporting Trump leads to a meteoric rise in power and money. That's all this is. They care about nobody but themselves.

Yes we know. What has to stop is the focus on reaffirming what we know to be true to ourselves and other like minded folks. We need to start putting ourselves in the shoes of his supporters, what speaks to them, how to speak to them and approaching our issues that way. No one is ever going to say they are against government waste, excellent platform, the reality doesn’t seem to matter. Biden was killing it his last term on almost all fronts, but all he ever spoke about was things most Americans couldn’t relate too, and the Dems allowed the right to dictate the platforms. I’ll never forget the immigrant gas station workers I was speaking to who told me they were voting for Trump. They said they felt he didn’t think they were helpless government moochers and they didn’t want to hear anymore about a few people who didn’t know if they were a man or a woman, they didn’t care what these people were, they just didn’t want to hear about it anymore. this was their take away from what he was saying. It was profound. These are the folks the Dems need to be able to reach. I don’t understand what they don’t understand about that.

Sorry - can you give an example of anyone stopping trans people from "participating in life"? No, you can't. They can still play sports and do any other things they want and you know it.

They’ve been banned from serving in the military and you know it.

So have people with depression, adhd, and peanut allergies
