After the initial 2 week blitz of the ratings when Conan debuts on Tbs, I won't be surprised to see Leno start leading the pack again. Ratings don't measure the way television is consumed by the younger demographic (streaming,dvr,torrents), and thus favour older viewership like Leno's fans.
Its similar to how polling is conducted during political races in that they are done over the telephone, but just to people with land lines. Most younger people these days have only mobile phones, and aren't reflected in polling results because of it. This leaves the polls accuracy swung towards the older demographics opinions.
