Majority Sees U.S. Union in Decline, Poll Shows

Ahead of the State of the Union address, a new poll suggests President Trump faces an uphill battle in convincing the public that the state of the union is strong. The survey found that a majority of Americans believe the country is worse off now than it was a year ago, and that the state of the union is not strong.

The poll, conducted by a respected non-partisan research firm, revealed that 58% of respondents said the state of the union is not strong, while only 38% said it is strong. Additionally, 54% said the country is worse off compared to a year ago, with just 32% saying it is better off.
