More Than 50 Million Watched Debate
Posted by admin, under PoliticalNielsen just released its ratings for Friday's presidential debate.
- The overall number of people who watched was surprisingly small (52.4 million) given the high numbers for the GOP and Democratic conventions. This was well below the 62.5 million who watched the first Bush/Kerry debate four years ago. This may be because Friday is the traditionally the second-lowest night of the week for watching television.
- African American viewers continue to be highly engaged in the campaign. They had a rating of 19.5 vs. a rating of 18.1 for the entire population.
