President Trump’s State of the Union Address Underlines Poll Gains


Strategic Campaign Group is a Maryland-based political consulting firm that aims to help Republican candidates and conservative organizations to create winning campaigns. Strategic Campaign Group follows political news and events, such as President Donald Trump’s first State of the Union address to Congress.

In his address, Trump expanded his message beyond his core constituency, with a full 75 percent of viewers in a CBS News/YouGov snap poll approving of his message and nearly as many responding that it made them feel a sense of pride. In tandem with this, recent polls have showed a swell of support for Republican tax reform, with approval of the bill rising by 18 percent since December.

A majority of those responding to a Monmouth University survey now say that President Trump has achieved success in passing his agenda in Congress. In addition, a majority of Republicans are now on board with him in terms of raising tariffs as a way of protecting domestic jobs in the face of low-cost, foreign-made imports.
