Washington Week

The State of YOUR Union

As President Obama delivered his final State of the Union address, he told Congress and "my fellow Americans" that the state of the Union is "strong." But do average Americans outside the Capitol feel the same? We asked people on the National Mall in Washington, D.C., to describe the state of the union as they see it in just one word. Responses we heard included "complex" and "divided."
