The day after the SOTU address I kinda did my own TV ratings poll in my neighborhood as I went out about my business. Most people I queried didn’t even watch or began watching, then turned it off.
As reported by Politico, the Nielsen ratings confirm my unscientific analysis. In fact, NBC’s airing of the “Biggest Loser” finale actually outperformed its showing of the State of the Union.
According to Politico, “Fewer than 33.3 million Americans watched President Obama’s State of the Union address on television last night, the lowest turnout since President Clinton’s final State of the Union address in 2000, according to newly released Nielsen ratings.
