Here are the top takeaways from our dial group held in Arizona last night. We talked Arizonans and listened as they responded to the #SOTU in real time — you’ll want to see what they had to say ↓

As @TVietor08 noted on the latest @PodSaveAmerica - dials went way down last night when Trump started talking about how America can’t stop “winning.”

One thing that didn’t come up tonight: The Epstein Files. It’s no wonder Trump didn’t talk about them. In our latest survey, 59% of Americans say they’re concerned by the administration’s handling of the files and covering up wrongdoing.

Our dials are clear: Americans don't want Trump focused on foreign wars, they just want lower costs at home.

As Trump talks about projecting strength abroad tonight, Americans are clear about their priorities: 72% say the U.S. should be cautious about using military force and focus at home — just 28% agree with Trump that the U.S. should take bold action to strengthen global influence.

Dials dipped when Trump reminded everyone of Melania's "hit" documentary.

Arizonans in our dial group were not fans of Trump's immigration agenda (they were also confused about his comments on snow)

This big dip occurred when Trump said he should be on his third term. Turns out, Arizonans aren't fans of his election conspiracy theories!

Last year, Trump and Republicans in Congress passed their budget plan, also known as the "One Big Beautiful Bill," but Americans don't think it's very beautiful to them. It's net favorability? -14

This is how Arizonans reacted in real time when President Trump said we were "winning." They're not buying it!

Americans don't agree with Trump's claim that we're "winning" again ... #StateOfTheUnion

62% say they are concerned about massive cuts to Medicaid and SNAP in Trump and Republicans in Congress' budget.

As the #StateOfTheUnion begins, what do Americans think about Republican leadership in the federal government? @POTUS, @VP and @SpeakerJohnson all are underwater in approvals. See for yourself 👇
