Obama's State of the Union lowest-rated since 2000

From Dylan Byers at Politico: (were he and Dennis Miller separated at birth?)
"In general, viewership for Obama's State of the Union addresses has been in constant decline. He drew 52.4 million in 2009, 48.0 million in 2010, 42.8 million in 2011 and 37.8 million in 2012. His 2013 address was the second-lowest rated since Nielsen began recording viewership in 1993.

In the ratings race, NBC was number-one in total viewers and key demos among both broadcast and cable networks. The network averaged 6.469 million total viewers, topping CBS at 6.400 million, ABC at 5.494 million and Fox (not to be confused with Fox News) at 2.120 million, according to Nielsen numbers provided by NBC communications."
FOX News beat CNN on cable. Overall, NBC continues to be America's lowest rated network.
