The ratings for Joe Biden’s first Joint Address to Congress are in. Compared to President Trump’s first Joint Address, Biden got trounced in the ratings. Likely, in large part, this is due to Biden not being the legitimate president. Also, he’s boring and demented.
UPDATE: Updated numbers show Biden still came in way below Trump with viewers.
Joe Biden‘s first address to Congress garnered 22.6 million total TV viewers and 5.6 million adults 25-54 on 7 Nielsen-measured English broadcast & cable networks. That figure will increase after final Nielsen data (and data from the Spanish broadcasters) https://t.co/tHyw7vD5fP

The activist media has been touting “massive approval” among Americans for Biden’s speech since it concluded late last night.

But there’s a catch:
Only 18% Republican weighting sounds reasonable, yes?

Meanwhile, Biden’s overall job approval is behind most of his predecessors.
As Joe Biden approaches 100 days [masquerading] in office, his job approval ratings hover just above 50%, placing him behind almost all of his recent predecessors at the milestone traditionally marking the end of the beginning of U.S. presidential administrations.
Three months into the job and preparing to make his first address to a joint session of Congress, Biden is polling lower than any modern U.S. president at the same stage, except Gerald Ford and Donald Trump. Ford’s early numbers were weighed down by his pardon of his disgraced predecessor Richard Nixon. Trump entered office amid an unremitting torrent of allegations — since debunked — that his campaign had colluded with Russia to sway the outcome of the 2016 election.
What say you Def-Con News readers? I say it’s about time for this nightmare to come to an end. President Trump you are missed, sir.
