NEW FROM ⁦@CBSNewsPoll⁩: In a divided nation, Americans do agree on this: @POTUS Biden should talk about economy cbsnews.com/news/biden-eco…

What do Americans want to hear about? The economy and inflation. Lowering the latter is a high priority for so many. Immigration is especially important to Republicans who plan to watch, Democrats are more interested in hearing about addressing racism and climate change.

Democrats are far more likely to say they'll watch the #StateOfTheUnionAddress. Most who say they're very likely to watch already approve of his job performance.

Tonight is a chance for @potus Biden to make a case for successes, but it appears he’s got convincing to do: Most Americans feel his policies are making the economy, and specifically gas prices and inflation, worse rather than better.

Lots more in the poll especially Re: foreign policy. Biden's ratings for handling issues with China are lower than they are on Ukraine:

… and he's also seen (especially by Republicans) as making U.S. standing in the world worse rather than better.

Overall @POTUS Biden's specific ratings on descriptors like "competence" remain below 50%, where they've been since 2021.
