This R&D provides resources on the 2016 State of the Union address. This State of the Union was the last for President Barack Obama, who spent time taking credit for an improved economy, low oil prices, and cutting the federal deficit. However, the speech only drew 31.3 million viewers, making it the lowest rated State of the Union speech in history (although it should be noted that those numbers do not include the number of people that watched it online).
