Just 39 percent of Americans adults believe the state of the union is strong before President Joe Biden likely declares it so during Tuesday’s State of the Union address.
According to the poll, Americans have soured on the state of the union since 2018 when former President Donald Trump was in office. Fifty-five percent in 2018 said the union was somewhat strong, compared to Biden’s 39 percent.
Independent voters are the main driver of the decreasing poll numbers. The survey found that “[i]ndependents’ opinion of the strength of the union has dropped more steadily from 52% in 2018, briefly plateauing at 44% in 2019 and 46% in 2022, and then dropping to 33% in the current poll.” The survey also revealed that only 24 percent of Americans believe the nation is headed in the right direction. Seventy-three percent say it’s going in the wrong direction. Only 41 percent of Democrats, six percent of Republicans, and 22 percent of independents believe the nation is headed in the right direction.Follow Wendell Husebø on
