To be honest, I'm not sure what to do with stats like this anymore. Viewership of the RNC was down slightly over past years, but I wonder if that isn't simply an effect of people generally watching less television than they used to.
EDIT to add: like the RNC, ratings for the DNC are down slightly from
2012. Apparently these ratings may not capture Bernie's speech though, so there may be an adjustment later. |
I also wonder if the new numbers account for people streaming, etc? I believe overall TV numbers are down
