Over Three In Four Americans Who Watched Trump's Address To Congress Approve Of It, Poll Shows

Perception of Trump's handling of the Russia-Ukraine war reveals a stark partisan divide: 73 percent of Republicans approve of the president's handling of the war, while 76 percent of Democrats disapprove. Independents are more divided, with 46 percent disapproving and 35 percent approving."

Trump's 48 percent approval rating ahead of his initial address to Congress is higher than it was in 2017 before that year's speech at the Capitol. Trump's appearances before Congress during his first term did little to move the needle on his approval rating: None of his four speeches resulted in a change to his approval rating of more than three percentage points."

Jennifer Agiesta, CNN's politics polling director, wrote of the network's latest survey

He is more focused and less toxic.

A Trump voter from California said

Latest Atlas national poll finds the American public split in half but steady support for Trump, with almost no change since January."
