The Barack Obama paid political message rated very well, scoring 26.4 million across NBC, CBS and Fox, with an impressive combined 18-49 demographic rating/share of 8.1/22. Flying solo among the broadcast networks versus Obama, Pushing Daisies was relatively pummeled, but it did actually increase average viewers by nearly a million versus last weeks airing when it only drew 5.67 million. Last night it averaged 6.64 million.
Compare that with this article Dated Oct. 10th. It states that Perot got 26 million viewers with his simulcast in 1992. I dont' think the 26 million viewers Obama got across 3 major channels is all that significant. I'm not sure why some of the numbers don't seem to match, but I am comforted by the overall feeling that Obama wasted a whole lot of money!

Obamas Oct. 29 Simulcast Follows In Perots Footsteps
Perots 1992 telecasts drew an average audience of 11.6 million viewers 4.6% of all viewers nationwide. His one simulcast, carried on ABC and CBS on November 2, 1992 between 8pm and 8:30pm, attracted 26 million viewers.
They want their PIE.
apparently many of the people who will vote for or already voted for the one, watched him in adoration
I’d settle for him getting 33 million votes

Okay, which of you Freepers watched this B Hussein Obama Infomercial????
Did not watch this. I had to pick up dog droppings in the yard. I suspect Barry is seriously overexposed by this time. More and more people are hearing the truth come out. Pray that November 4th swings our way.
"Muahaaahaahahaha! I control all of the channels and will soon spend another $800 billion DOLLARS!!!!!"
I suppose a few watched it 'cause they actually like the guy.
Didn't Sarah Palin's debate draw some 72 million viewers?
The real story is the 170 million who turned off their sets entirely.
well, 70 million people tuned in to see Sarah in the VP debate...
I wonder what the viewship would be if Sarah did an infomercial?
That's what I would have done.Although I was out having dinner anyway so I missed it.
I am proud to report that no one from this household was among them!
I think conservatives would not be as likely to participate in something like that.
I bet the average Nielsen participant is far more likely to be in love with their televisions and be democrats.
Basically this is just another poll of a small number of willing participants that is supposed to represent accurately millions. Anyways, from what we know, it was so bad I doubt it convinced anyone at all.
sure they did
Well, actually, Fox said this morning that only 17 million watched. I would say that was the real number and this inflated number is BS, especially since earlier Nielsen said that 26 million watched. This is a lot like the inflated numbers for Bozo’s rallies isn’t it?
Obama is doing quiet a bit to promote reading. Every time he comes on in a commercial, I go into another room and read a book.
What a bunch of DUmmies!
I didn't watch it due to helping out with the Palin rally that's coming to my town Saturday A.M.
My local talk radio host said today that the Messiah's half-hour came off slick and over-produced. What sayeth some freeper analyzers?
Leni
Too much crap on tv these days... hard to indoctrinate the masses like the good ol’ days in the mother land
33.5 million watched, so the real question is, how many did not.........count me into the did NOT watch group!
