Ratings Bomb: Viewership for Biden SOTU Address Down 29% From Last Year - Lowest Audience in 30 Years | Ratings for Biden's SOTU address are going in the same direction as Hollywood awards shows -- down. Viewership for the speech was down 29% from last year's SOTU address, making it one of the least watched State of the Union speeches in the last 30 years. The Hollywood Reporter has details: "The on-air audience for the State of the Union address fell considerably from a year ago. President [sic] Joe Biden's second State of the Union averaged 24.17 million viewers across the four main broadcast networks (ABC, CBS, Fox and NBC) and three largest cable news channels (CNN, Fox News and MSNBC). That's down by about 29 percent from 33.83 million who watched the State of the Union on those seven outlets in 2022."
