State of the Union preview: Trump promises a long speech to the nation

Previewing Tuesday’s State of the Union address, President Trump told reporters on Monday that “it's going to be a long speech because we have a lot to talk about."

The annual, constitutionally mandated ritual takes place before a joint session of Congress and is viewed as an opportunity for the president to frame his administration’s agenda in a favorable light. But so much has happened over the last year — and so much of it has been seen unfavorably by the American people — that Trump will face something of an uphill battle when he heads to Capitol Hill on Tuesday night.

Ahead of the speech, Trump seemed to signal that he would be using the State of the Union to address widespread concerns about the direction of his presidency — and make the case that U.S. voters should keep his Republican Party in power when they head to the polls for November’s midterm elections.

A new Yahoo/YouGov poll conducted from Feb. 9 to 12 found that Trump’s approval rating has fallen to match its lowest level ever. Just 38% now approve of the way Trump is handling his job as president (down from 40% last month). That number had slipped to 38% in only one previous Yahoo/YouGov poll — at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic in July 2020. It has never been lower.

Probably a long pity party.
