The general peak of viewers to the SOTU episode was around 1993 with 70-million. The Obama years started off high at 52-million...dropping a few million each year and ending with 31-million on his last speech.
Trump bumped up in the mid-40s for his four. Joe Biden for last year? 27-million, lowest viewer audience for past 30 years.
People might watch the highlights the next day, but the vast number of Americans just don’t care about this anymore. Wouldn’t shock me if Joe even dropped below the 20-million mark by 2023’s SOTU.
Joe Biden couldn’t attract a crowd if he were giving out free hot fried chicken in a black neighborhood.
Chuckle.
