(36,878 posts)2. TPM: 45.6 Million Tune In For Trump's First State Of The Union Address
NEW YORK (AP) President Donald Trump reached an audience of 45.6 million people for his first State of the Union address, not enough to give him bragging rights over his predecessor.
The Nielsen company said former President Barack Obama drew 48 million people for his first State of the Union in 2010.
Trumps audience was down from the 47.7 million people who watched his address to the joint session of Congress last February.
