34 million fewer people watched Joe Biden’s speech last night compared to Donald Trump’s first State of the Union address.
Ratings show that 11.6 million watched Biden’s speech compared to 45.6 million who watched Trump’s first address to Congress in 2018.
The lowest number of Americans who watched a Trump State of the Union throughout his term in office was 37 million.
Biden barely managed to beat the viewership for this year’s Oscars (9.8 million), even though that set a new record low for the Academy Awards
Biden’s speeches and public appearances have become notorious for their poor ratings and lack of engagement, unless you’re talking about the overwhelming number of people who downvote videos on the official White House YouTube channel.
As a reminder, Biden officially received 81 million votes during the presidential election, the most a presidential candidate has ever received and over 11 million more than Barack Obama achieved in 2008.
Respondents to the announcement of the viewing figures expressed their surprise, given Biden’s overwhelming ‘popularity’ in 2020.
“Most popular president of all time,” commented one.
“Just wait, Dominion is finding more viewers as we tweet,” joked another.
“Biden’s speech to Congress was not only boring, but the chamber was mostly empty. Even the Democrats who showed up couldn’t stay awake,” remarked another.

Are we going to get a Nielsen Ratings dump from like Cobb County at 3AM again?
I watched a British mystery show on the granny network up in my locale and then it was my bedtime by the time of Biden’s speech. Probably that good many others followed my sort of schedule last night, lol.
Perfect.
Them 81 million votes viewers, go figure, sheesh. /s
And two weeks ago, Trump gave Hannity the highest Monday ratings for the show since the November Steal. Even Fox doesn’t want to talk about it because it hurts their narrative.
Unfortunately, at this point, what difference does it make? Biden occupies the office and what remains of the Republic rests on the whims of Joe Manchin.
There was paint drying on my wall I needed to watch...
How many people watched it (State of the Shamwow IX) vs Obama’s 2009 SOTU (or State of the Shamwow I)
Samurai Cop was on Rifftrax.
Actually I was impressed how SlowJoe made it down the aisle and babbled for 45 mins. That Adderall is good stuff!
But but but, he’s so popular!
Star Trek reruns last night for me.
Rumor has it that your Prime Minister had had some *very* flattering things to say about Commie Harris. Any chance that she might someday become the First Lady of Canada or that he might become the First Gentleman of the US?
