By a large margin, Americans liked what they heard in President Donald Trump’s speech before a joint Congress on Tuesday night.

Trump’s speech—at over 100 minutes, the longest presidential address in modern history—touched on familiar themes throughout the night, from a swift end to wars to vindication on new tariffs. All were brought together under a banner of braggadocio that only the Republican could deliver. Among those who tuned in, the response was a thunderous clap of approval.

76% of speech watchers approved of Trump’s remarks compared to just 23% who disapproved, according to a CBS News poll released hours after Trump left the floor of the U.S. House. Respondents consisted of 51% Republicans, 27% independents, and 20% Democrats; so while viewers were likelier to be aligned with Trump’s views already, the fact that nearly half were not underscores how optimistic the general public is about his first six weeks in office.

Past polls have shown that President Trump is maintaining his support by tapping into some of the most popular elements of his agenda. One week after dressing down the president of Ukraine in front of the world, Trump insisted his approach will bring the two-and-a-half year long war to a close.

“Millions of Ukrainians and Russians have been needlessly killed or wounded in this horrific and brutal conflict with no end in sight. The United States has sent hundreds of billions of dollars to support Ukraine’s defense,” Trump said. “It’s time to stop this. It’s time to halt the killing. It’s time to end the senseless war.”

A survey last month indicated that nearly three in four Americans would prefer a peace deal between Russia and Ukraine even if it means Ukraine cedes portions of its country lost to Russia during the conflict.

In a recent Harvard University poll, 57% of respondents agreed with Trump on tariffs, holding that they are an “effective foreign and economic policy tool.” President Trump alluded to the temporary economic pain he expects to hit Americans, especially farmers, but asked for patience while his new tariffs pay off.

“Tariffs are about making America rich again and making America great again. And it’s happening, and it will happen rather quickly,” he said. “There’ll be a little disturbance, but we’re OK with that. It won’t be much.”

Nor did he shy away from comparing his first six weeks to the past four years of his predecessor. Former President Joe Biden — “the worst president in American history” — got multiple mentions throughout the night as Trump underscored how far America had drifted off-track before he took office. In the same poll, 58% of respondents say they are more satisfied with Trump’s job performance than Biden’s.

By far, the president’s most high-profile successes have been with DOGE, the new efficiency arm of the government being advised by Elon Musk. Polls show 72% of Americans “support the existence of a U.S. government focused on efficiency initiatives.”

“We appreciate it. Everybody here, even this side, appreciates it, I believe,” Trump said, referring to Democrats. “They just don’t want to admit that.”
