David Chalian Has to Explain Why SOTU Polls Is Two-Thirds Positive: Watchers ‘Tend to Be Fans of the President’

CHALIAN: Yeah well, I just want to take a moment here to explain. This is a poll of speech watchers. So, it is not a poll that is reflective of the population overall. And what we know about people who tune in to State of the Union addresses, they tend to be fans of the president. Whichever president is giving the speech. So the the polling universe here is about 13 points more Republican than the overall population usually is. So just keep all that in mind as we go to the results of our instant poll. Get this reaction from those that watch the speech tonight. 38% said they had a very positive reaction to the speech 25% somewhat positive, 36% negative. So roughly two thirds in the positive territory, one third negative among speech watchers.”
