Viewing figures from the last debate

Last night’s CNN/New York Times Democratic Presidential Debate attracted 8.3 million viewers on CNN and 9.4 million live streams. On television, 8.336 million total viewers watched the debate live from the campus of Otterbein University in Westerville, Ohio. Among adults 25-54, 2.378 million tuned in. The debate peaked on television from 9:15-9:30 pm with 9.215 million total viewers and from 9:45-10 pm among adults 25-54 with 2.660 million.

The June debates averaged approximately twice as much.

12 candidates on one night is a bad formula. These debates aren't moving the needle.

It was lacking a swimsuit competition and a talent competition... honestly, the whole thing is absurd! TOO MANY PEOPLE on the stage at the same time is just a pageant. Smile, wave, don't trip over your shoelaces, make sure your fly is zipped, make sure your slip or bra strap isn't showing... and you're golden. Only, nobody knows much more than that.

These will only be worthwhile when we get down to 5 or fewer.
