Hitting President Trump at his pride and joy–television ratings–the Democratic National Convention outperformed the republican National Convention largely pre-recorded programming in viewership when comparing daily ratings, according to data compiled by the Daily Beast.
The DNC topped RNC ratings on each night, with the biggest difference on the third night broadcast, where the vice presidential nominees made their addresses.
RNC | DNC | |
Day 1 | 15.8 | 18.7 |
Day 2 | 18.0 | 18.6 |
Day 3 | 15.7 | 21.5 |
Day 4 | 21.6 | 23.6 |
The figures above are in millions of viewers, based on Nielsen ratings from the four broadcast networks (ABC, CBS, NBC and PBS), as well as three cable news networks (CNN, Fox “News” and MSNBC).
