And yeah, the poll among watchers is going to skew democrat because most republicans aren't going to watch Joe Biden deliver the SOTU.
As demonstrated in this very thread. "I didn't watch, but I heard X & Y, and no, I'm not going to bother to find out whether what I heard is true."
I don't think I've missed a SOTU in my adult life. The President “shall from time to time give to the Congress Information of the State of the Union, and recommend to their Consideration such measures as he shall judge necessary and expedient.” Article II, Section 3, Clause 1. It's a Constitutional imperative and an important historical mile marker, regardless of who's in office. Does it ultimately mean much? No, other than as a barometer for how the party in power is thinking.
