Biden State of the Union TV audience down 29% from 2022, lowest in 30 years
NY Post ^ | February 9, 2023 | By Mark Moore

An estimated 27.3 million people watched President Biden’s State of the Union address on Tuesday — a 29% drop from the audience for last year’s speech and the fewest to view the event in at least 30 years, according to Nielsen Media Research. ​

The total number of viewers ​who tuned in Tuesday was off from the 38.2 million who watched the president’s speech in 2022 and substantially lower than the 46.7 million who viewed former President Donald Trump’s second State of the Union in 2019, the Nielsen data show.​

The only smaller audience since 1993 came in 2021, when 26.9 million people saw Biden deliver an address to a joint session of Congress, which was not considered a State of the Union because he had been in office for less than a year.

By contrast, Trump’s first address to Congress in 2017 drew 47.7 million viewers.

Everyone wanted to play Biden Bingo with a bottle of booze but no one could play because they couldn’t afford the bottle so why watch?

An estimated 27.3 million people watched President Biden’s State of the Union address on Tuesday...substantially lower than the 46.7 million who viewed former President Donald Trump’s second State of the Union in 2019.

And we still have folks (even here) who think that Biden won in 2020.

You can tell you’re a huge failure as president when the grammys get a half million more zombie TV watchers than your SOTU Show.

There’s hot and can be very hot war going on, chinese spy crafts operating with impunity, massive inflation, millions of illegals, fentanyl, lay-offs, high interest and crashing housing market, and on and on...one would think that a [theoretical] statement of intent by the exec. outlining the path moving forward might capture the attentions of the suffers.

Yet 90% of the population ignored Bi-Sh*t’s reading of the SoU speech. It’s because we expect nothing good will come of it.

That’s not good news, because people will just get their impressions of the speech from the fellating Press.

Of course the TV audience is down. Who in their right mind would give one second of time to a deluded old man who lives in a house that is white?

Oh, I almost left this out: he also has a fear of balloons.

He got 81 million votes, but not that many voters.

Maybe half of that.

He’s boring and even people who voted for him don’t like him , they just hated Trump.
People would only watch hoping he would goof up

I imagine most Americans are like me. They don’t want to listen to a cranky old communist pedophile trash my life style and call me names. FJB.

I would watch obama because if you read between the lines, he was telling us what damage he was going to do.

Joe is an incoherent mess who reads what is written for him on the teleprompter.

**********

Until the people, gov’t get serious about the voting process
across the states we will continue to have problems of which
some will influence election outcomes.

The gov’t/inhabitants have change drastically over the last
hundred years or so that today rules/procedures aren't used
or followed. We can land people on the moon but can't do a
damned thing about our self government. jmo
