Tuesday Ratings: President Obama Gets a Standing Ovation
Although he addressed the nation only two weeks ago, viewers were still curious to hear what President Obama had to say last night.
- Yesterday’s appearance before a Joint Session of Congress drew in 52.4 million across all the channels. That’s an increase of 2.9 million from his speech on February 9th.
- The event was only watched by 32.7 million over the four major networks. That’s actually a 12% drop from the President’s first primetime presser.
- Pres. Bush’s 2008 State of the Union, in comparison, only drew in 37.5 million. But his 2003 address (prior to the war in Iraq) pulled in 62.1 million.
