Democratic lawmakers may have bristled at President Donald Trump\u2019s triumphant return to the Capitol, but polling suggests their constituents felt differently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A CBS News\/YouGov survey, conducted immediately after Trump\u2019s joint address to Congress, polled a nationally representative sample of speech watchers\u2014and the results are likely to delight the poll-conscious president.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The poll shows an overwhelming 76 percent of Americans viewing the speech approved of Trump\u2019s remarks, with only 23 percent \u2014 less than a quarter \u2014 disapproving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sixty-eight percent of viewers described Trump\u2019s speech as \u201chopeful,\u201d with a majority also describing it as \u201cpresidential,\u201d \u201cinspiring,\u201d \u201cunifying,\u201d and \u201centertaining.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A clear majority of Americans who watched President Trump\u2019s address felt he focused on issues that mattered to them, according to the CBS News\/YouGov survey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

More than two-thirds of viewers said Trump has a clear plan to tackle inflation, which began under President Joe Biden. Additionally, over three-quarters of respondents supported Trump\u2019s proposals on reducing government waste, immigration, and border security. Despite negative press coverage leading up to the speech, nearly one-quarter of viewers approved of Trump\u2019s approach to handling Ukraine and Russia, Breitbart News reported, citing the polling results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While presidential address audiences typically lean toward the sitting president\u2019s party, the survey found that only 51% of viewers identified as Republicans, suggesting that Trump\u2019s message resonated beyond his base.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally, more than three-quarters of viewers approved of Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) ordering the Sergeant at Arms to remove Rep. Al Green (D-TX) from the chamber after he disrupted President Trump\u2019s speech despite multiple warnings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trump also won praise from members of the Republican Party and many in the media.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cTonight, President Trump made his triumphant return to Congress to share his bold, optimistic vision for renewing the American Dream,\u201d Johnson noted<\/a> on the X platform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis is the fifth State of the Union address I\u2019ve seen Trump give \u2014 it was by far his best,\u201d Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) added<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe best moment \u2014 emotional moment, was DJ, who\u2019s battling cancer. He wanted to be a police officer and during the speech, the president said the Secret Service has made him an agent,\u201d Fox News anchor Bret Baier said, reflecting on a teen cancer survivor in the audience whom the president recognized during his speech.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIf you ever doubted that Donald Trump is the political colossus of our time and our nation, this night and this speech should have put that to rest,\u201d Fox\u2019s Brit Hume noted<\/a> as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Former Fox liberal Geraldo Rivera added<\/a>: \u201cTrump was strong, defiant and entertaining.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Former CNN politico Chris Cillizza\u00a0said, \u201cThat was a very effective speech. You can hate it or him. But that speech was aimed squarely at issues where the public is with Trump \u2014 and filled with made-for-sharing moments. A master image-maker at work (and you can hate him and acknowledge that\u2019s true!)\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI am just left feeling inspired and hopeful and there\u2019s so much to look forward to,\u201d said former collegiate champion swimmer and women in sports advocate Riley Gaines noted online<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis speech is one of Trump\u2019s best ever, and the Democrat behavior during it has been not only despicable but also colossally politically stupid. Whoever is advising these idiots just steered their party into an even deeper ditch than Joe Biden and Kamala Harris left them in,\u201d Brietbart\u2019s Matthew Boyle reflected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A voter in Pennsylvania said, \u201cI thought it was very positive\u2026 We used to be a country that would just let everything happen\u2026 I think now, we\u2019re taking back things that should\u2019ve never been given away. So, I think doing those tariffs\u2026 it\u2019s well overdue.\u201d<\/p>\n
