Gagaloo911 12,959 Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 The first presidential debate between President Trump and Democratic nominee Joe Biden was watched by 29 million viewers on broadcast networks ABC, CBS, NBC and Fox, marking a 35 percent drop from the first 2016 debate between Trump and Hillary Clinton, which was watched by 45 million on broadcast networks, according to early numbers from Nielsen. https://www.google.com/amp/s/thehill.com/homenews/media/518986-presidential-debate-ratings-plummet-on-broadcast-networks%3famp Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShtoopidLahv 710 Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 “The 2020 number for Trump and Biden does not include streaming options, which have become increasingly popular in recent years“ that number also doesn’t include viewership from cable networks like CNN, MSNBC, Fox News Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That number represents a 13% drop from the record 84 million who tuned in on 13 networks for the opening debate between then-Republican nominee Trump and Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton on Sept. 26, 2016." https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.usatoday.com/amp/5869777002 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, the streams didn’t make it up either. Trump’s in his flop era at the perfect time 😊 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aga Gydal 3,158 Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 Good. That wasn't a debate, that was some playground bully ****. Donald Trump is a scourge. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotDoctor 708 Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 Obviously only anecdotal but I didn't watch and none of my friends watched this time around. We all know who we're voting for already and weren't gonna get anything out of it other than be furious. From the clips I saw the next day I'm glad I didn't. I really don't understand why they're even doing than this time around, it's just another platform for Trump to spew his racist, conspiracies and be an all around jackass Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lion Heart 15,041 Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 I don't blame them. That was the worst Presidential debate in American history + people are getting sick of Trump's constant gas-lighting and bullying. That was a disgrace. Also I think because Trump was the 'underdog' in 2016, they wanted to see how he'll do against Hillary. ▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CameronSpears 2,129 Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 No one wants to see Trump be a loser, we already know he is and how he acts. People already know who they are voting for. Also this doesn't count streaming or cable networks. I watched on MSNBC. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
