    A poll by CNN showed that 69 percent of Americans had a positive reaction to the address, while a CBS News and YouGov poll showed 76 percent approved of it.

    This is absolutely brigading bullshit. Ain’t no fuckin way.

      The only people willing to watch Trump spew two hours of straight lies are Trump supporters and political correspondents (and the large amount of overlap).

      I have only a finite time on this pale blue dot, and I am definitely not going to spend more of it listening to what a walking combination of McDonald’s characters (i.e. Mayor McCheese, Hamburgler, Grimace, and Ronald) has to say about the state of a country he’s constantly trying to run into the ground.

        I literally cannot watch the man speak anymore. I gave up in like 2018 or something. It’s just the same incoherent misleading and nonsensical statements over and over. I can’t understand how anyone can watch it. Even reading what he says is difficult.

        Yep, almost certain a sampling bias.

        Not much more scientific, but the YouTube suggestions showed me recordings from the speech from major national networks and they had like 1.5k, 1.2k, etc views. I gave that a chuckle.

      It’s probably because most people that didn’t approve didn’t want to watch it in the first place because there’s nothing useful to hear.

          It’s even worse because his mouth looks like an anus and his neck looks like a vigina. He’s a Cronenberg fever nightmare.

          I’d honestly rather watch Mr Hands and Pain Olympics on loop than subject myself to 90 minutes of utterly deranged and hatefully narcissistic verbal diarrhea

        Amongst other things he just got into office, very little to say, and yeah, this is a guy only good at giving speeches if you’re listening to tone not words.

      I happened to watch the segment on those stats. They clearly stated the stats would be biased to Trump. People tend to watch the state of the union if their party won election, so those polled for this were heavily republican.
