More than 32 million Americans saw President Obama's healthcare speech Wednesday night-- almost 30 percent more viewers than watched the president's last big primetime appearance.
That's the word from Nielsen Media, which says 32.1 million people watched on 10 broadcast and cable networks. Obama's July 25 press conference on health care was seen by roughly 25 million viewers.
