NEW YORK — President-elect Barack Obama helped 60 Minutes draw its biggest viewership in nearly a decade Sunday. Correspondent Steve Kroft's interview with the incoming president and future first lady, Michelle Obama, drew a 17.4 rating in the top 56 local markets measured by Nielsen Media Research.

That's the highest rating the CBS program has scored since January 1999.

Last week, 60 Minutes was the most-watched program on television, attracting its biggest audience in a year when Kroft interviewed four of Obama's top campaign advisers.
