President Donald Trump sat down on Sunday afternoon with Fox News for the presidents now-customary pre-Super Bowl interview. The segment with OReilly Factor host Bill OReilly, which aired during Fox
Broadcastings pre-game coverage around 4 p.m., drew a 7.8 household rating in Nielsens metered market overnight ratings.
Viewership figures will be available later Monday.
Here at last we have a true apples-to-apples comparison for a television event with Trumps predecessor, Barack Obama or at least as close to one as were going to get.
President Obamas last three sit-downs before the Super Bowl drew overnight household ratings of 9.2, 10.2, and 11.5. His first pre-Super Bowl interview, with NBCs Matt Lauer in 2009, brought in an average audience of 21.9 million viewers in Nielsens final accounting; the overnight household rating for NBC from 4:30 to 5 p.m was a 9.6. The half-hour of 2011s Super Bowl pre-game coverage that included OReillys highly anticipated interview with Obama attracted an average audience of 17.3 million.

Go to the back of your closet and see if you can find one of those "Magic Fortune-telling" balls and turn it over a couple of times. Sooner or later you will find the answer you're looking for.
Until then, we have..................................
