Donald Trump, Ratings King, Sees Viewership Slump For First SOTU
The famously ratings-obsessed Donald Trump will not like the overnights. Preliminary numbers from Nielsen show the president's first State of the Union address, billed as "must-watch TV" by press secretary Sarah Sanders this week, did not attract record viewership--and it didn't beat Barack Obama's first State of the Union ratings back in 2010.
According to data released Wednesday by Nielsen, Trump's speech drew a combined 17.3 million viewers on the cable news networks--with Fox News dominating cable news--and another 23.1 million watching on the four broadcast networks, ABC, CBS, NBC and Fox. In that matchup, NBC News finished first with a total average audience of 7.1 million viewers, just ahead of CBS with 7 million. ABC was third with 5.4 million and the Fox broadcast network had 3.6 million.
On cable, Fox News Channel crushed its competition, with 11.5 million viewers--more than second-placed CNN (3.1 million) and third-placed MSNBC (2.7 million) combined.
The president's first address to a joint session of Congress last February did better, with a total audience of 47.7 million viewers
President Obama, Trump will not be happy to learn, had better ratings for his first speech to Congress in 2009 (52.4 million viewers) and his first SOTU (48 million).
Viewership tends to decline during a president's time in office, with Obama's last State of the Union, in 2016, down more than 20 million viewers from his first, for his lowest-rated SOTU, at 31.3 million viewers.

Oh and by the way hawks, anti Trump talking points lately are that Trump is mentally incompetent seem rather false. Nobody with mental problems could give a speech that long as Trump did last night,
Low bar indeed. He was reading from a teleprompter. Watch for the mentally incompetent and morally imbecilic Trump to reappear in all his off the cuff brilliance, soon.
