Fox Chief Political Analyst Calls Trump Address The Most 'Boisterous, Longest, Most Partisan Speech' He's Heard in 50 Years

Fox News' chief political analyst Brit Hume said that President Donald Trump's address to Congress on Tuesday was the "most boisterous, longest, most partisan speech" he ever heard a president give. He emphasized his definition by recalling that he has been covering such events for "about 50 years."

Regardless of whether he agreed with Trump's message, many of those who also watched Trump's address liked his approach. According to a poll conducted by CBS News and YouGov right after the speech, over three quarters of viewers approved of it.

The audience, however, was mostly comprised of Republicans, as viewership tends to skew toward the party in power. 51% of respondents identified themselves as Republicans, 27% as independents and just 20% as Democrats.

Concretely, 76% of respondents approved of Trump's address, compared to 23% who didn't. Fewer of those who approved said the president spent "a lot" of time on issues they care about, with 63%. An additional 28% said he spent "a little" on them while the remaining 9% believed he didn't spend any time at all.

Moreover, almost seven in ten respondents (68%) said the address made them feel hopeful, while 54% felt proud. A little over a quarter (27%) said they felt worried while 16% used angry as the word to describe their feelings.

The survey also asked respondents whether they believe Trump has a clear plan to address inflation. Over two in three (68%) said he does, while the remaining 32% don't believe that is the case.
