The numbers are in, and now we know that Joe Biden’s SOTU speech was the worst-rated one in thirty years and generated ten million fewer viewers than his 2022 speech, according to Nielsen data.
Perhaps Americans wanted to watch a non-fiction program instead of watching Biden repeat his oft-told lies. On the bright side, he didn’t deliver his fake Amtrak story again. But he did tell the lie about the GOP wanting to dismantle Social Security and Medicare.
Nielsen measured the speech audience across 16 broadcast and cable networks. The speech drew an estimated 27.3 million viewers, compared to 38.2 million for last year’s viewership. It was the lowest viewership of a SOTU for the past thirty years.
The Associated Press noted the only smaller audience since 1993 was recorded in 2021 with Biden’s very first address to congress, which saw 26.9 million viewers. But that speech was not officially a State of the Union speech since he had just taken office a few months earlier.

Personally I think the SOTU should just be returned to the president just sending a written statement to Congress. No one remembers or cares what was said within two weeks of the address.
It is heartening that so few people watched Biden spout his bilge.
Biden: I told you so. Next time I do the blackface Jolson medley and end up on one knee for the conclusion of My Mammy.
I am surprised anyone watched. Even the camera people.
I love the look on the Speaker’s face.
But somehow this grifting POS got 81 million votes.
In all fairness to the Demented One, his crowd was tuned in to the Beyonce awards the previous night and no matter who you are, a person can take only so much bullsh*t two nights in a row. That’s why the Beyonces drew a bigger crowd of far left idiots than the Jo Jo Innocent Victim Show did.
Jimmy Carter feel proud again.
No joke!
