Spanky: 71% agree there is a crisis at the southern border [NOTE: you didn't say 71% of people who watched SOTU; to the contrary, you implied it was 71% of everyone]
ummmmm: You have a sampling problem, here, since it was a poll taken of only those people who watched the SOTU [presumably people who didn't watch, also have opinions about the southern border]
Spanky: You mean informed people?
ummmmm: If the poll was about the contents of the speech, then yes, those would be informed people as they watched the speech
Spanky: The poll was not exclusively about the contents of the speech
ummmm: I know, the question about crisis at the southern border wasn't about the contents of SOTU. But the sample was taken only from those who watched the SOTU; so you have a sampling problem.
Spanky: As I stated earlier, you mean informed people?
ummmm: You're being circular
There, fixed it for you.
