The Philadelphia Story: CNN Is Dominating the DNC Ratings Race
Posted in: Uncategorized
Ratings for the third night of the Democratic National Convention experienced some moderate erosion compared to Tuesday night’s numbers, but overall the Hillary huddle continues to draw a bigger crowd than last week’s GOP event.
According to Nielsen live-plus-same-day data, President Bill Clinton’s Tuesday night speech edged President Barack Obama’s address by some 1.1 million viewers, although the POTUS still managed to out-deliver the corresponding night of the Republican National Convention by a margin of 930,000 viewers.
Through the first three days of coverage, the DNC is averaging 24.8 million viewers per night across ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, Fox News Channel and MSNBC, giving the event a healthy 3.2 million-viewer lead over the GOP assembly. Moreover, having posted an average 6.8 rating in the core news demo, the Democrats have established an advantage of some 1.58 million adults 25-54.
