The television ratings of the first night of the Democratic National Convention (DNC) sunk 22 percent from 2016, according to Nielsen.

The ratings crash suggests that Vice President Kamala Harris is far less popular than the media purported.

About 20 million people watched the first night of the DNC, up from 2020’s virtual convention but severely down from 2016, Axios reported:

I’m not sure if it’s good or not. I would think more people seeing their stupidity would help us.

I don’t know if you can compare the years. Streaming on-line is much more common now than it was in 2016.

There’s a thread somewhere on FR. DNC was a bigger first night than ratings RNC. Of course the talking heads are all over it.

In a voting system without much fraud. In the current environment, with people in charge who can now do anything they want, OUT IN THE OPEN, Harris +3.

Kind of tough to compare when the MSM mainly avoided showing the RNC.

Didn’t watch. I was too busy watching the skippers on “Deadliest Catch” fighting over crabs than a bunch of bottom feeding Democrats scratching theirs.

“About 20 million people watched the first night of the DNC”

How does this compare to the first night of RNC?’

It’s farcical. Wrong tree.

Anyone who watches Fox commentary shows and/or warroom knows there is a considerable amount of left anti Trump media clips shown on a regular basis

The same is not true for the democrats/Trump hating leftists. They might view a controlled propagandized clip but they will never tune in

They won’t turn on skb warroom or Gutfeld. They won’t tune in to the RNC convention

Republicans and conservatives don’t have that fear. They’re open to the truth and are merely disturbed at most by the view, Maddow, Mika etc, anyway they have to watch this if they have any libs around. Libs will turn on their shows they’ll never allow conservatives to turn theirs on

Having the RNC convention on is no big deal. Not that they watch it

Libs would never allow the RNC convention on

I got a letter from Nielsen informing me that I had been selected “to be a Nielsen rating family.” I sent in the form with “NOT INTERESTED” in block capitals. & I kept the dollar bill they included. I then received a “rater profile” form with another dollar bill and the promise of 5 dollars if I filed it out. I put down that I rarely watched TV except for the local evening weather report and the “Outlander” tv series. I didn’t fill out any other information questions and mailed it back in the pre-paid envelop.

I was surprised when I received a 3d mailing from them and this contained “Thank you for your response, here is a $5.00 bill as promised for your reply.”

I haven’t received anything else from them. And I gave the $7.00 to my granddaughter when she and her parents visited us.
