President Obama’s address to congress last night drew a total audience of 52.37 million viewers on 10 networks (broadcast and cable). While well below President Clinton’s first address to congress in 1993 (66.9 million), it’s a good deal above both President Bush’s first (39.79M) and last (37.52M) address’s.
It’s also 6% above the audience tune-in for the President’s first press conference last week (49.46M).
