"Biden's State of the Union Draws Second Highest Viewership, Graded by Former Speechwriters, and Polls Revealed"

President Biden's 2024 State of the Union address was watched by over 32 million people, making it the second most-watched of his presidency. Ratings were 18% higher than last year, with the majority of viewers being aged 55 and older. Only 5% of viewers were in the 18-34 age demographic. Fox News had the largest share of viewers, and Biden's speeches have averaged fewer viewers than former Presidents Trump and Obama. The address was criticized for being hyper-partisan, and GOP lawmakers heckled Biden throughout his speech.
