President Barack Obama’s speech Wednesday night about the U.S. plan to combat the Islamic State, a group that gained notoriety after the brutal murder of two journalists, drew 34 million viewers, according to numbers released by Nielsen. That figure is slightly higher than the 33.3 million people who tuned in for the President’s State of the Union back in January , which at the time was the lowest-rated State of the Union since President Clinton’s final address in 2000.
