GOP Had Fewer First Night Viewers Than Democrats

“The first night of the Republican National Convention was down a touch in total viewership on the first night of the Democratic National Convention,” Variety reports.

“Across the three broadcast networks, the RNC night 1 drew around 4.9 million total viewers, a 14% drop from last Monday’s DNC first night which drew 5.7 million.”

“The fuller ratings picture for the RNC night 1 will become clearer later in the day when the cable news numbers will also be factored in.”
