Reagan Beats Obama
Posted on Jan 22, 2009 @ 12:26PM
Given the outpouring of support, you'd think the ratings for the inauguration of President Barack Obama would have been the highest ever.
Not so! He's number 2: more people watched the inauguration of President Ronald Reagan in 1981.
Reagan was watched by 37.4 of American households vs. 29.2 for Obama. George Bush is the lowest on record, pulling roughly one-third that of Reagan.
Of course, many of those potential viewers were probably crowding the streets of Washington, D.C., or viewing on the internet, which is not counted in the ratings.
