USAFacts State of the Union - In Numbers

The Issues

Article II of the US Constitution requires the president to address Congress on the "state of the union." The annual address is an opportunity for the president to review the nation's condition and outline legislative priorities for the coming year. The 2022 State of the Union address will be Tuesday, March 1st at 9 p.m. EST.


USAFacts analyzed decades of State of the Union addresses to find the most-covered issues, then compiled the numbers behind those topics so Americans can judge how the country is doing.
