This analysis is just silly. You can’t take two days out of the blue and make a statistical inference without analyzing multiple days over multiple weeks. To make an analysis from two days cherry picked to meet your desired results is meaningless. You have to know if Wednesday is normally a larger audience than Monday and you have to look over multiple weeks. Just a few data points that I came up with are that the Monday after the debate Megan Kelly drew 2.9 million viewers to rate the highest rated cable news show. So much for her debate performance hurting her viewership. To boot she drew 3.1 million this Monday so she is gaining viewers since the debate. Maybe her numbers were down Wednesday because Ann Coulter was on the program. The point is you can’t make an inference on just a couple of data points and her viewership does not seem to be hurt from her performance in the debate. To be certain though you would have to look at multiple days over multiple weeks, comparing like days over a period of time. Too bad haters. Take a statistics class before you make a fool out of yourself.

Fair enough.

We will keep an eye on Kelly’s numbers over time.

My opinion is her numbers the last few days were inflated because she
just returned, similar to a bounce a candidate gets post announcement.

I predict her numbers will show a clear and marked decline after the
“Bounce” wears off and Trump no longer tweets about her.
