In a recent analysis of the state of the union, many Americans express that President Trump is significantly altering government operations. However, there is a stark division in opinions about whether these changes are positive or negative. A CBS News poll indicates that while most respondents believe Trump is reshaping governance, they remain divided on the implications of such changes. Many also perceive a growing influence of corporations and affluent individuals under his administration, which fuels concerns about the overall strength of the union. Overall, majorities report that the current state of the union is weak, with ongoing uncertainty surrounding executive actions and policy shifts.
