Early data comes as Trump reportedly concerned Kamala Harris nomination speech will outshine his from RNC
The first night of the ongoing Democratic National Convention in Chicago had signficantly better ratings than the opening of the Republican National Convention last month, according to overnight data.
The DNC had 11.4 percent of sampled households watching in 44 major metro areas across seven networks on Monday, compared with the RNC’s 9.4 percent rating, a difference of over 20 percent, according to TV analyst Michael Mulvihill, president of insights and analytics at FOX Sports, FOX Entertainment, and Tubi.
In a statement on X, the analyst warned that the data was just preliminary.
Only one person cares about these ratings, and he hates this.
That weird obsession with crowd size…
It’s so weird that a former “celebrity” would be such a ratings loser. How humiliating that must be, when he has every advantage. Looks. Experience. Bottle of sperm freshly harvested from a couch glove…
Interesting that people still care so much about live viewings of non-sports content in the age of VOD.
But also: lol Trump is gonna lose his shit
Fun fact: “TV ratings” are polls!
“These ratings are fake ratings. The best people are telling me this. And I know it’s true because I’m very intelligent—my uncle, MIT guy, very smart, good genes. This is the Marxist, fascist media trying to take Trump down, just like they did to the late, great Hannibal Lector.
Just yesterday, a TV executive—big, tough guy, never cried before in his life—came up to me and said, with tears running down his face, he said, ‘sir, I’ve never seen ratings as fake as these.’”
— Donald Trump, probably
