Two conclusions leap out from the ratings of televised presidential debates:
- the viewing public is already tiring of the Democrats’ presidential field;
- the viewing public doesn’t trust and doesn’t want to watch CNN – even when it is televising live events.
Writing at Breitbart, John Nolte gathers and analyzes the ratings data. Here is the data on the four 2019 Democrat presidential debates in sequnce:
First debate (on CNN)
In June, the first Democrat debate of the year, hosted by NBC, MSNBC, and Telemundo, drew 15.3 million viewers on night one and 18.1 million viewers on night two, for an average of 16.7 million.
Back in July, far-left CNN hosted the second debate of the year, a two-night event that drew 8.7 million and 10.7 million viewers, for an average of 9.7 million.
Third debate (on ABC)
14 million
Fourth Debate (on CNN)
CNN’s Tuesday night Democrat debate drew only 8.3 million viewers
It is clear that overall the trend is down, but that the third debate on ABC spiked up a bit from the previous debate on CNN, only to see the fourth debate on CNN continue the ratings decline. The third ABC debate was still down from the first CNN debate, but below the first CNN debate.
While it is true that ABC reaches households that do not subscribe to cable or satellite television, that difference is not enough to account for the entire differential. And previous presidential debates on cable channels have far outdrawn ABC’s current ratings. For instance:

Don’t you mean “Women and minorities hardest-hit”? After all, the Democrat field is comprised entirely of women and minorities, with a good deal of overlap.
AT&T—are you listening?
Are we counting airports and hotel lobbies here?
” After all, the Democrat field is comprised entirely of women and minorities,”
Three are white men.
I didn’t even bother to find out when they were being held.
White men are a small minority within the Democrat party.
“White men are a small minority within the Democrat party.”
Why did you ping me?
Probably 5x watched Trump in Dallas.
It was Trump’s best work since!
A bit of the old Reagan humor long since gone
Eight-point-three million? I would question that as inflated. Who can watch these cretins other than media types and professional pols? Plus there were two Championship Series ball games on.
NCIS had more viewers than the debate
“It recorded 10.61 million viewers who watched live. “

That happened a long time ago.
Dems get dozens, maybe hundreds at their rallies - Trump draws tens of thousands.
Who are these masses who vote Democrat? They don’t seem to turn up in real life.
More Airports and Hotels are finally changing the channel from the Communist News Network. Lot of Airport TV’s are tuned to TBS and Hotels are on the Weather Channel. Hilton Hotels are still glued to CNN.
Three are white men.
White..yes, Men not so sure.
Size matters!
Ready - Aim - Vote
