Ratings: Democratic Convention Down From RNC's Closing Night
tvline.com ^ | 7/29/2016 | Matt Webb Mitovich

The Big 3’s coverage of the Democratic National Convention on Thursday totaled 10.2 million viewers and a 2.5 demo rating, on par with Night 3 yet down from the RNC’s Night 4 (12.3 mil/2.6).

The prelim numbers are also down sharply from broadcast-TV’s coverage of the closing night of the 2012 DNC (14.7 mil/4.1, where NBC started at 9/8c).

Did they count all of the dead viewers who will be voting (D) in November?

You mean droves of people were not rushing to their TVs to watch Chelsea intro Hillary?

==

Chelsea has has similar problems in small rallies for Hillery. Chelsea just does not draw crowds.

I’m sure there are a lot of bruised egos today.

Even with the Democrat party crackup and the threat of riots, they were down.

The RATS thought they would do the same old playbook on their convention...old, tiring, boring, and ‘stars’ what stars, the ones in their heads???

The RNC had a great convention, with speakers that knew what is going on in the American lives of her people, the RATS were in a ‘far off distant make believe island’...altho you would have to ask Bill about an ‘island’ since he’s been to one many times...

I watched {volume down too low to hear much} on CSPAN.

CSPAN viewership does not usually show up in the broadcast/cable-satellite/streaming ratings.

Trump and Bernie supporters avoided watching the PIAP coronation.

The first three nights of the Democratic Convention beat the ratings of the first three nights of the Republican Convention.

If the fourth night had the Dems slip below the GOP numbers, then there are a lot of politicos chewing antacids like candy today.

Oh, but I heard Amanpour on CNN saying the DNC drew millions more viewers then the RNC. I had read FR so I knew what the score was. Turned off the set. No need to listen to liars.

Consider that a lot of viewers are force-fed the coverage. I dropped my wife off at the Kelsey-Seybold cancer clinic for chemo yesterday, and the Hillary love-fest on CNN was on all the TVs. I’m sure most hospitals and airports were doing likewise.

For once I wanted to see the protesters. But hardly anything was shown. Today RT showed Jake Tapper shouting to cut away as protesters were getting loud.

It’s just kabuki theater anyway. They only need to present enough of a show of support, with media lying to make them look more popular, to make the fraudulent voting numbers plausible.

Why watch a bunch of old crooks who have one foot in grave while saying the same crap they’ve been pushing for 40 years?
