Contributing sentiments towards policy:

77% : "Over the past six weeks, I have signed nearly 100 executive orders and taken more than 400 executive actions to restore common sense, safety, optimism and wealth all across our wonderful land," Trump said.
69% : Much like the addresses he made to Congress during his first term, Trump sought to frame the first months of his second as historic and efficient.
61% : " "I appreciate that he sent this letter," Trump said, adding that his administration had been conducting "simultaneous negotiations" with Russia and has received "strong signals" that they are ready for peace.

58% : "Earlier today I received an important letter from President Zelensky of Ukraine," Trump said.
55% : "Six weeks ago, I stood beneath the dome of this Capitol and proclaimed the dawn of the Golden Age of America," Trump said in what turned out to be the longest joint session speech in U.S. history by any president.
53% : While Trump repeatedly went after the Democrats who had decided to attend his speech, saying there was "nothing" he could do to make them happy, notable moments of protest emerged.
52% : President Trump delivered his first joint address of his second term to a sharply divided Congress on Tuesday, using a combative speech to boast about a slew of executive orders he has signed in a bid to reshape the federal government and to lay out the legislative priorities he hopes to pass with aid of the Republicans who applauded his every line.
48% : Thirty-eight thousand workers died building the Panama Canal," Trump said, adding, "We're taking it back." "We have Marco Rubio in charge.
41% : We need Greenland for national security and even international security and we're working with everybody involved to try and get it." Despite the fact that Greenland is a territory of Denmark, whose prime minister has repeatedly stated the island is "not for sale," Trump assured his audience otherwise.
39% : Trump said a major goal of his administration was "ending the flagrant waste of taxpayer dollars." "To that end, I have created the brand new Department of Government Efficiency, DOGE, perhaps you've heard of it, which is headed by Elon Musk, who is in the gallery tonight," he added.
32% : The egg price is out of control, and we're working hard to get it back down," Trump said.

15% : That led to a rebuke from House Speaker Mike Johnson, but Green continued to shout Trump down.
5% : Despite a contentious White House meeting last week with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky that resulted in accusations that Trump had sided with Russian President Vladimir Putin, Trump said Tuesday that a deal to end the war was still possible.
