If Obama wanted to reach women voters why didn't he go on his friend Oprah's show considering her ratings as the number one talk show?
I Guess this is why
OUCH I guess Michelle doesn't watch Oprah :wink: :lol:
Oprah's audience is predominantly female, white, and over the age of 55. Nationally 7.4 million people watch Oprah daily -- about 2.6% of American households. Four percent of American women (about 5.7 million) watch her daily, compared with 1.2% of men (1.7 million people). Overall, 2% of all 18- to 49-year-olds watch Oprah.
Oprah has the highest ratings among older Americans -– a critical caucusing or voting block. 3.7 million people age 55 and older watch Oprah, and 2.7 million of these individuals are women. Eleven percent of all older black women watch Oprah, and 7% of all older white women watch the show everyday.
Oprah's audience is also predominantly white: 5.9 million of whites watch Oprah, compared with 1.4 million blacks. Her reach among the Hispanic population is tiny -- only about 230,000 Hispanics watch the show daily.
I Guess this is why
One of the opening questions from host Barabara Walters, who returned to the show from a medical leave to take advantage of the president’s visit, was simply, “Why?” Mr. Obama’s response was a swift appeal to the core female demographic following for the program – he wanted to be on a show that his wife, Michelle, “might actually watch.”
OUCH I guess Michelle doesn't watch Oprah :wink: :lol:
