　　Additionally, 64% of respondents said Biden's comments on the U.S. economy were more important than his comments on Ukraine.

　　CNN also pointed out that the State of the Union address usually does not have a significant and lasting impact on the president's approval rating.

A poll by the Bipartisan Policy Center this week found that 44 percent of Americans approve of Biden's performance in office, a slight increase from other recent polls.

　　The first State of the Union address comes as Biden grapples with a number of challenges, including the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, tensions between Russia and Ukraine and record inflation in the United States.
