'OOF'! The ratings are in for Biden's address to Congress (vs. Trump SOTU speeches)

President Biden’s speech last night was billed as an address to a joint session of Congress instead of the usual State of the Union. Whatever you want to call it, don’t call it a ratings bonanza:

JUST IN – Ratings are in: 11.6 million people watched Biden's speech last night. 48 million people watched Trump's first State Of The Union address. Trump's lowest was at 37 million.

And according to CBS News, 85 percent of those viewers gave Biden’s speech a thumbs-up.

You’d think the guy who got the most votes EVER in the history of voting would have better ratings…

Huh. https://t.co/rrMhMmxuke

Apparently not many people cared to tune in and watch the Most Popular President in U.S. History (or something).

Most votes received in history though. ?

Naturally, those numbers on viewership for Biden’s speech could change:

Yes, but what about Biden's mail-in viewers? https://t.co/4d69YBQdxq

Give it time. They have to count all the ratings before we get the final numbers in. We'll wake up tomorrow morning and find they have indeed found the correct ratings. https://t.co/hQALQrSuuJ pic.twitter.com/6W7c8JAbGG

There’s a positive sign though for the Biden administration:
