Trump would have had more people at his inauguration, too, except they were all watching it on YouTube. Funny thing is, most of Trump’s voters are so old they think you tube is that band from Ireland their kids grew up listening to in the 80’s.

They may be old, but at least they know how to show up to vote and get an electoral landslide going. The old men can also pee without feeling the urge to squat.

Now I'm sure Trump and his loyalists here will want to compare Trump's numbers to Obama's final SOTU. Obama's numbers - like most presidents - went down with each and every new SOTU. His final SOTU in 2016 drew only 31.3 million. Trump's numbers are probably also going to be lower with each new SOTU - barring a war (Bush holds the recent record with 60-million plus viewers in 2003).

He may also claim that more people are watching it online but that's true with just about every show these days - which includes the NFL ratings he loves to make fun of.

I would also expect a general downtrend in the numbers over time due to cord cutting. The numbers really arent all that different. I suspect the vast majority of the difference between a 2010 SOTU and a 2018 SOTU is probably cord cutting--there is just a smaller overall TV audience.
According to this, OBama barely edged out Trump (48 million vs 45.6 million). However, Trump got a larger share of a much smaller total ABC/NBC/FOX/CBS TV audience (14.8 share vs 9.1 share in the same measure for Obama's first SOTU in 2010).

A reasonable Coog. Glad to see one exists (well at least in this forum - I know quite a few reasonable ones in real life). I was going to change the title of the thread. Instead of not great, so-so is probably more fair.

so cord cutting and internet streaming are excuses used. Hmmmmmmm

I will say this, I'm on the west coast and I didn't see anyone rushing out of here to watch the speech at 6pm local time.

Why would anyone "rush" to see anything on TV in 2018? Isn't that a badly outdated concept now?

It's 2018, we have Tivo, Facebook, youtube and 20 different cable channels relaying the SOTU all night long. I know I didn't watch it until much later in the night.

Lol. At this point it’s possible the FBI was detaining anyone wanting to attend the Trump inauguration.

Agree, people on the West Coast were probably rushing out to see Hillary Clinton justify keeping another perv on her staff.

I didn’t watch it.

Why?

Because I’m happy and I hate Congress.
