Washington (CNN) President Donald Trump will face one huge obstacle when he appeals to Americans in a prime-time Oval Office address Tuesday to unite behind his crusade for a border wall: Himself. About 57% of Americans oppose Trump's wall compared with 38% in favor, according to a December CNN poll conducted by SSRS . Those numbers are similar to where they were just after Trump took office in 2017. At almost every rally, Trump beams as the crowd chants "build the wall, build the wall." Trump's most difficult assignment will be to make a case that the situation at the US-Mexico border really amounts to a genuine crisis.
