President Donald Trump's first public act of the day was to show his gratitude for the rave reviews his joint address has been getting.

'THANK YOU,' Trump said in a message from his personal account.

The first-term president's joint address to Congress was a hit with most Americans.

Three-quarters, 76 percent, approved of his remarks in a CBS poll. A majority of voters also said that Trump came off as 'presidential' including 54 percent of Democrats.

The first-term president's joint address to Congress was a hit with most Americans

Three-quarters, 76 percent, strongly or somewhat approved of his remarks in a CBS poll.

Just as many Democrats said that Trump was 'divisive,' and a little more than half said they found him to be 'confrontational.' Only 36 percent thought he delivered a 'unifying' message.

Majorities of viewers said, however, that they found his speech to be 'positive,' 'forceful' and 'inspiring,' and they said Trump came off 'knowledgeable.'

Six in 10 said they felt more optimistic after hearing more about Trump's plans.

The president's initiatives to fight crime, address illegal immigration, improve America's infrastructure, rebuild the military, battle terrorism and boost the economy also got high marks. Each scored above 70 percent with voters who were interviewed.

Even 78 percent of Democrats came away from the speech saying their electeds should work with Trump on some of his policies.

The poll's respondents skewed heavily Republican and conservative but it was weighted to even their responses out.

CBS' toplines also confirm the results of a snap survey conducted last night by CNN.

An overall 57 percent of viewers said they had a 'very positive reaction' and 21 percent had a 'somewhat positive reaction' in the CNN/ORC poll.

Most approved of Trump's policies, with 69 percent saying he would move the country in the right direction.

However, Trump did not score as highly as the two most recent presidents their first time speaking in the House.

Barack Obama and George W. Bush earned a 68 percent and a 66 percent 'very positive' reaction, respectively.

New presidents President Obama and President Bush had 68 percent and a 66 percent 'very positive' reactions respectively - which puts Trump behind

Thumbs down: Democrat women dressed in white in defense of women's rights gesture at President Donald Trump when he spoke about repealing Obamacare

Democrats attending the speech were not nearly as pleased with Trump as those watching at home.

Senator Bernie Sanders was caught comically side-eyeing the president, and Democrats could be heard snickering and groaning during several lines of the address.

Several Democratic women, wearing white to honor suffragettes, at one point gave Trump a thumbs down.

After the speech, in a video on Facebook Sanders said claimed 'Republicans are getting very worried.'

'They’re not so cocky anymore about simply repealing Obamacare and they should be worried. The American people are standing up And they’re saying, no you’re not going to repeal the Affordable Care Act...You’re going to improve it.'

But liberal commentator Van Jones, a contributor to CNN, had a similar take as other Democrats watching from home: Trump was presidential.

Jones said on the network that Trump 'became President of the United States' on Tuesday when he applauded the widow of fallen soldier Ryan Owens.

'There are a lot of people who have a lot of reason to be frustrated with him, to be fearful of him, to be mad at him, but that was one of the most extraordinary moments in American politics period,' Jones said of Trump's shout out to Carryn Owens.

'For people who have been hoping that he would become unifying, hoping that he might find some way to be presidential, they should be happy with that moment.
