Viewership down sharply for Trump's State of the Union
Source: ABC News
Viewership was sharply down for President Donald Trump's State of the Union address on most of the top television networks except for Fox News Channel.
The Nielsen company estimated that 37.2 million people watched Trump's speech live across 12 TV networks Tuesday night. That's down from 46.8 million people who saw his speech last year, and the smallest audience for his presidency.
Fox News had by far the biggest audience for a speech that was widely viewed as a kickoff to the president's reelection campaign. Nielsen said 11.6 million people watched on Fox, up 2% from last year's State of the Union.
But there were big viewership tumbles for other networks 41% down from last year on MSNBC, 33% down on NBC and 30% each on CBS and ABC, Nielsen said.

What buffoon would lap up what is clearly just all-hail-this-guy's-ego?

FOX was up 2%, that's what bothers me. How could his base possibly be growing? Yeah, he lost tons of viewers on every other network, but how could his cult grow by 2%? I just don't get that, especially after the year he's had.
