https://old.reddit.com/r/politics/comments/1j3w46d/poll_of_trumps_2025_joint_address_to_congress/

								

								

I think many Dems didn't watch it. I didn't. I'm just watching the recap. That said, if the polls are true, our country is full of gullible idiots who don't know they're being lied to.

They literally have a poll in it saying it's mostly Republicans / independents watching

It was a complete mess. They had to strategically place their 2nd vote for someone who they wanted but also had to make sure that 2nd place guy didnt accidentally become 1st place - often by throwing away their 2nd vote on a guy they knew would get no votes.

she was only wrong by 16 points

Biggest doomer event for rightoids that election. Like every criticism of her results was couched in "She'd have to be wrong by like 15 points for this to be not bad for Trump" which shows how unlikely it seemed. /r/fivethirtyeight creamed itself for days and (non-Selzer) polling was declared dead. The other polling companies ended up spending that week scrambling utterly befuddled on how their results were so far away from the trends the "Queen of Iowa" was suggesting would happen.

Great polling there... majority of viewers are republican, and about half approve. Way to do a shitty poll CBS.. [+30]

Have Redditors reached the point that they're not only incapable of !mathematics or arithmetic, they're incapable of recognizing numbers? :marseyfacepalm:

76% approve, /u/ultralightdude calls it "half", and at least 30 other people agree with him. !dramatards, I'm afraid that no matter how hard we try, we'll never be half the !r-slurs /r/politics commenters are. :marseygiveup:

As for the poll itself, it's interesting that the overwhelming majority of independents viewed the speech positively. I'm sure at least a few of them are !chuds or !nonchuds (i.e., too far right/left for the mainstream parties), but most are probably centrists. So of people who watched the speech (which rules out all us apathetic !grillers), only Democrats disliked it. Shows how out of touch they are with average !burgers. :marseyleftoidschizo: :marseyburger:

Independents voluntarily watching a Trump speech in 2025 are probably Trump supporters. I doubt they're moderates

I'm not so sure about that. Check the other questions. Especially this bit:

https://i.rdrama.net/images/1741190466w5NafeFXHIaizA.webp

They don't have proper crosstabs, so I can't be entirely certain, but those numbers suggest that Republicans and most independents agreed that Trump was "presidential", "entertaining", and "inspiring", while Democrats and most independents agreed that he was "divisive", and, oddly enough, independents split 50/50 on whether or not he was "unifying". Not sure how most of them can think he's "divisive" while half of them also think he's "unifying", but there it is. :marseyshrug:

https://i.rdrama.net/images/1741190466vah5cQrOgWetTg.webp

Same deal for the "inflation plan" question. Those numbers look like a slight majority of independents think Trump's got a plan, but a sizeable number think he doesn't. :marseymight:

All in all, about what I'd expect if most of the self-identified independents really are swing voters. :marseynatesilver:

The like/dislike questions on policy in the speech were about the same as the overall approval, except for tariffs. Some of this might be due to it being a good speech, but I think it's something like 65% full MAGA (with 15% understanding he's divisive), 12% approve with reservations (maybe some of these are swayed independents?), and 23% anti-Trump (maybe a few of these are swayed ind.)

As a prior, if we split independents as 50/70 R, 20/70 D (same ratio as non-ind), we get a 70-30 split, which Trump does seem to improve on slightly.

Except the cost of housing also won't go down as interest rates wont go down due to the shitty economic conditions, this isn't even getting into the massive increase in material costs making new houses also more expensive.
