Roughly 11.6 million viewers watched President Biden's address to Congress on Wednesday, according to initial data from Nielsen.
The initial data include viewers from Walt Disney Co.'s ABC, Comcast Corp's NBC, ViacomCBS Inc's CBS, and Fox, but not viewers on cable news networks like Fox News, CNN, and MSNBC.
Biden's speech drew in less than 75% of the viewership former President Donald Trump's speech congressional drew. In 2017, Trump saw 48 million viewers, followed by 46 million in 2018, 46.8 million in 2019,and 37.2 million in 2020.
This is the Biden guy that got millions more votes than Trump???
The Dems succeeding in hiding Biden through a SotU address.
i think the total went up from the 11 million - but still wayyyy below Trump.
I read earlier that total viewership was about 23 MILLION, which is still less than half of what Trump’s first address received. I’m guessing that NPC “Biden” and his puppetmasters are probably pleased that so few people watched his pathetic performance of lies backed up by distortions.
This doesn’t matter. Few watched speeches by Brehznev, Yuri Andropov or Konstantin Chernenko. But Communist ruled all the same. Biden is a puppet, a figurehead for the New American Communist Party. They don’t care if you watch. But you WILL obey, or else.
There was no Presidential address to congress.
Biden made a speech in the House Chamber that was attended by left wing congressional loyalist and was merely political theater.

If it’s from Nielsen, most likely the numbers were even lower than reported.
I will never listen to a thing this doddering old Communist fool has to say.
Didn’t even know it was on.
Who wants to watch a diaper-faced communist?
Someone doesn't understand percentages.
11.6 million watched Biden's address
37.2 million for Trump in 2020
( 11.6 / 37.2 ) * 100 = 31.2%
Biden drew only 31% of Trump's smallest audience. Not 75%.
Wonder if the first take was “same-time” viewers, and the later number included those who found it on the internet and streamed it later?
Or, if it looked so bad, that they did their normal routine: lied through their teeth?
There was no presidential address because Biden isn’t a duly elected president of the USA.
Likely 11.4 million of those forgot to turn off the TV when they went out for a needed drink.
It's not his speech, it's theater to pretend that Jao Bai-Din's serving in any capacity as President and to avoid people around the world asking "who's running the Office of the President of the United States?"
You mean that many people forgot to change the batteries on their remote and just left it on?
I started to listen to Biden’s “speech” the other night on radio, but a tornado warning preempted it. The tornado was much more interesting anyway.
48 million was probably the number used. It would have been Trump’s first versus Biden’s first.
Probably CBS, they had a poll with 85% liking the speech, but they over sampled Democrats by about 85% more.
