"By a 57%-to-43% margin, respondents said the state of the union is not strong, a 4-point increase from a year ago. That includes 8 in 10 Democrats and about two-thirds of independents. Roughly three-quarters of Republicans, however, said they think it is strong. One of the sharpest divides on this question is by education 69% of college graduates said the state of the union is not strong, while those without degrees are split 50%-50% on whether it's strong or not."
"The poll is the latest sign of the political headwinds Trump is facing, particularly with persuadable voters. But given that his base continues to stand behind him more than 8 in 10 Republicans think the country is better off than a year ago Trump is unlikely to cede any ground in Tuesday's address. The survey of 1,462 adults was conducted from Jan. 27-30 and has a margin of error of +/-2.9 percentage points, meaning results could be about 3 points higher or lower than the reported number."
Most Americans say the country is worse off than a year ago and judge the state of the union as not strong. A 57%-to-43% margin reports the state of the union is not strong, up four points year over year. Eight in ten Democrats and about two-thirds of independents view it as not strong, while roughly three-quarters of Republicans view it as strong. Educational divides are stark: 69% of college graduates say the state of the union is not strong, while those without degrees are split 50%-50%. The poll surveyed 1,462 adults Jan. 27-30 with a +/-2.9 percentage-point margin of error and used multiple contact methods.
