Wow! Less then ten percent of Americans tuned in???
I think the final numbers will come in at 18 million viewers on the alaphabet networks and 9 million on cable channels. That number, of course runs from 9:15-10:15 PM EST!!! The surrounding lead-in and post SOTU TV time shows dramamtic dropoff of TV viewers numbers.
The 2015 Obama, SOTU was 31 million total viewers, down from the 2014 SOTU of 38 million viewers......I do believe the 2016 SOTU Obama speech will come in at about 27-28 million viewers....terrible for a Potus SOTU!!! Bill Clinton drew 68 million viewers in 2000 and GW Bush SOTU drew 58 million viewers in 2003-4.
As for Nikki Daley....she had nowhere near what the POTUS drew for viewers!!! I predicted Obama would bomb and,,,,,I was right on the mark!!! He bombed with his town hall meeting on CNN and he bombed last night!!! The numbers tell the whole story!!!
The are roughly three hundred twenty million people in the USA. Obama would have needed at least 32,000,000 just to reach ten percent. He was not even close!!!
