CBS: Viewers Strongly Approve Of Trump's Speech To Congress (76% Approve)
cbsnews.com ^ | MARCH 1, 201

Viewers nationwide strongly approved of President Trump’s speech Tuesday night, with many Democrats joining Republicans in calling it “presidential” and positive in tone. Republicans and Independents found it “unifying,” though Democrats were slower to come around on that measure.

The President gained support for his policy plans among viewers: Interviewed before and after the address, they came away from it more positive on his ideas for the economy, immigration, terrorism, crime and Obamacare.

While half of Democrats found the speech “divisive,” about one-third of them also said Mr. Trump was “specific” and “knowledgeable”; neither label drew a majority, but nonetheless sizeable numbers compared to the more negative reactions Democrats have had to other aspects of his presidency.

And viewers of all stripes described the speech as at least somewhat positive in tone.

.
CBS will dwell on the 24% and completely ignore the financial impact of irritating the majority of their audience.

The CBS business plan is flawed.

The 24% of dems that feel more optimistic just walked the party. There should be RATS jumping out of windows all over today.

I wouldn’t be surprised if the Liberal Media stop conducting polls about President Trump. These polls are supposed to defame Trump and are doing the opposite.

They’re the SOME in the “Some say....” anti-American propaganda!

It says that MANY RAT voters APPROVE of Trump. As many did at the polls. Great news.

I still do not trust the polls. CBS may indeed have it right today, but tomorrow they will skew the next poll.

In before Scott Adams says it: this speech resolved the cognitive dissonance for many. Yes they will still disagree and fight about issues, but the conversation will now turn in a different direction It will now be “OK” to accept him as the legitimate Potus. Van Jones and Chris Wallace were two visible examples of this last night.
