President Joe Biden had the lowest viewership for his State of the Union than any of his four predecessors first addresses with less than 40 million tuning in, according to Nielsen ratings.
In a tracking of the 16 networks that aired live coverage of the address on Tuesday evening, 38,197,000 individuals were watching from 27,408,000 different households in the U.S.
The figures from Biden's speech come amid an ongoing war in Ukraine and increasingly dire approval rating numbers for the president and Democratic lawmakers going into the 2022 midterm elections.
Donald Trump's first State of the Union address in 2018 had 45.5 million viewers from 32.1 million households
The first State of the Union after the attacks on January 29, 2002 garnered 51,773,000 viewers from 35.5 million households and his remarks the year after saw 62,061,000 people tune in for the speech, the second most ever since Clinton's first address to a joint session of Congress.
Joint Session addresses are delivered just months after a president is elected so the new Executive Branch leader can lay out to the legislative body their plans for the country. It is not considered the first 'State of the Union,' that comes around a year after inauguration.
The marks for Biden's speech Tuesday evening were a noticeable improvement from his joint session address last year, where only 26.9 million viewers tuned in from 19.95 million households, which was the lowest of any address since tracking started in the early 90s.
Biden's Tuesday figures just edged out Trump's last State of the Union in February 2020, which drew just over 37.1 million people.
The first 12 minutes of the president's address on Tuesday, March 1, 2022 was aimed at Russia following its invasion of Ukraine

The people who did watch were waiting for an “accident”.
Nancy’s gumming and chemical induced divining.........along with Harris who looked like a trained seal, caused millions to click the off button.
People just aren’t drawn to retards who mix up countries in their foreign policies 🤪
The Hoe looked like a bull-necked wrestler.
In other news, a record number of views watched in chicken suits.
And yet I read dems saying he’s the greatest president ever.
I only hope we still HAVE our country in 3 years.
He’s not president.
Everyone knows it.
But but but 81 million votes

So OAN viewership isn't included in the Nielsen ratings. This is another reason to watch OAN if you're going to watch stuff like Brandon's SOTU.
And I helped!
Watching Biden causes way too much Cringe
Go get ‘em, Brandon!
Did they count Crowder’s 1.2 million viewers on youtube and Rumble? LOL
Yep.
Folks used to show up for hangings too.
.
So what?
When you already know what the ‘movie’ is going to be like, because of all the previews (lies, day in and day out), then, you might as well skip seeing the movie.
38,197,000 individuals
Might have started watching it,
but I bet only 3 watched more than 10 minutes before they turned it off.
