Democrats' Response Beat Trump's Oval Office Address in Preliminary Ratings
Source: Mediaite
Early TV viewership numbers seem to suggest that political audiences were less interested in Donald Trumps speech last night and more interested in what Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer had to say.

On Wednesday morning, Fox Sports Executive Vice President Michael Mulvihill tweeted his assessment of combined ratings for the biggest national networks that carried the addresses. Judging by the numbers, Trump and the Democrat response tied in ratings on several channels, but the Democrats surpassed the president on more networks than he surpassed them.
Combined overnight ratings of seven national networks:
9-9:15, including President Trumps address to the nation: 28.1 rating / 45 share
9:15-9:30, including Pelosi/Schumer response: 29.3 rating / 47 share

Last nights Democratic response (9:15-9:30) outrated the POTUS address (9-9:15) by +26% on CNN, +15% on MSNBC, +3% on ABC.
POTUS speech outrated Dem response by +3% on CBS.
The two rated equally on NBC, FOX, FNC.

(25,111 posts)again, nonsense. CBS disappoints, surprised about FNC & Fox (shithole should have been up), and NBC is another disappointment. Other than that, Nancy and Chuck - congrats.

(34,661 posts)Two unfavorable polls in two days. Madame Speaker more favorable,by a mega margin than Mr President. And last night,Schumer-Pelosi favorable's larger than Donnie the Liar. Talk about a ego smasher.

(63,849 posts)for us!!! I read so many posts here that people were not going to watch it, and just watch the response. I checked in with DU just when you guys said Pelosi and Schumer were on.
When we band together we get things done.
He is taking revenge on the government workers.
