Biden draws the worst viewing figures for a President's first State of the Union in 30 years
daily mail ^

Posted on 03/03/2022 6:24:59 PM PST by algore

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

I knew the ratings wouldn’t be very good.

He scheduled it on one of the seven days of the week.

Why heck, everyone knows Twitter is safe now. What else is
there to know?

The economy is running (scared) along in grate shape now.

Biden’s decisive actions have absolutely perfected our oil
supply, so much so we are able to pay for over 500 barrels
a day from a nation that has four or five times threatened
a first strike nuclear war over the last few ways.

Education is speeding along at 300 mph on a track rated for
50. CRT race relations have never been better. Children
can recite all 72 genders by third grade, but can’t add
$0.73 + $1.27 in under three minutes, with a cheat sheet.

English is, if at all possible, just as bad. Don’t ask who
Hitler was unless you’re sitting down hooked up to a heart
monitor. And that’s just if your under age 25. If you’re
over that age, best to be admitted to a cardiac unit before
you venture that far.

I didn’t watch, but you know he mentioned Transgenders at
least 41 times. He probably promised to make sure all
cars sold to women would have electric windows. And of
course women loved him all the more because of it. He was
sure to have promised a gallon of milk in every pot, but
that was cut prior to the evening event. Cows are less
popular than Whites at a school board meeting these days.

All the hot air in Congress, and they blame others for the
gall to express flatulence on planet Earth. Enjoy your
beef, cheese, and other dairy products while you still can.
By this time it may be too late.

Gretta Thunderblunder is probably in a coma after Biden forgetting to mention that every long range missile that
goes hot in the Ukraine today, expends more energy that 450,000 vehicle during the trek to work on the territory
of the Great Satan each day.

Global Warming, just isn’t the be all end all these days.

There are simply too many imminent catastrophes hitting
the news wires each hour. Thank heaven there are enough
Leftists working on them, to better our society.

I watched Crowder’s live stream. Brandon’s speech was a disaster, jumping from topic to topic, random yelling and whispering for no reason, etc.

For the President who got the most votes ever! Yea right. Are you idiots figuring it out yet? The election was stolen and you’re a fool to accept it.

Yeah, I watched Crowder too. On Rumble.
I watched it for his take and the comedy because Brandon alone would have been unwatchable.

There are a lot of other podcasters out there with sizable audiences too.
Combined, more people probably watched online for the political takedowns and humor than watched the Corporate Media outlets.

I keep some leftist friends around on Facebook, just to get an idea of what they are thinking. When Trump was in office it was a at least once a week orange man bad it is the worst thing ever take post. Now, they are absolutely silent on politics and they won’t even discuss anything political, the state of the union might as well have never happened if you look at their Facebook pages. If it was under Trump that would’ve been a half a dozen posts and how he was a liar, fraud, a threat to the country, etc.

RE: “Folks used to show up for hangings too.”

I know there are several hundred, I would show up for. Kinda like during the French Revolution without the guillotine, just sitting there clapping as the trapdoor drops.
Maybe singing, “Hey Hey Goodby”
