Democratic debate hits record 15.3 million viewers

Democratic debate hits record 15.3 million viewers

CNN's Tuesday night debate averaged 15.3 million viewers, easily making it the highest-rated Democratic debate ever.

The total viewer number was much lower than the totals for both recent Republican debates, but there was still a surprising surge of interest in Hillary Clinton, Bernie Sanders, Martin O'Malley, Lincoln Chafee and Jim Webb's first time together on stage.

The 15.3 million total far exceeded most expectations, including among CNN executives.

don't worry, the royals will win. I will bet a $50 donation to Sanders campaign on it.

I see what you did there but I'm glad you favor the Royals, they are a scrappy bunch of kids.

The revolution will not be televised.

And in my neck of the deep woods there were many many people watching one feed. Bernie parties are like that; many people watching one feed. So the actual numbers of people watching can probably be multiplied by more than 3.
