Trump Won't Be Pleased By His Latest TV Ratings
Posted in: Uncategorized
If recent history and his Twitter feed are any indication, President Trump may respond to his latest ratings stumble with the all-purpose invective “Fake News!” But the fact of the matter remains: As with the turnout for his inauguration, the Donald can’t seem to muster the big TV crowds his predecessor commanded.
According to Nielsen live-plus-same-day data, the president’s 9 p.m. EDT address to the nation on Monday averaged some 27.7 million viewers across the top broadcast and cable news networks, 32% fewer than the 40.8 million viewers who tuned in for President Obama’s analogous Afghanistan speech in December 2009.
Trump’s final numbers may inch upwards by a few million viewers once deliveries from smaller networks are tossed into the final mix.
