GOP Debates on CNN Crush Obama’s Town Hall Ratings

Newsbusters reports:

Compared to the two Republican presidential debates on CNN, Barack Obama’s gun control town hall got crushed in the ratings. The President’s two hour-long appearance with Anderson Cooper on Thursday managed 2.4 million viewers. In comparison, a staggering 23.1 million people tuned in for CNN’s GOP debate in September.

The September 16 event became the most-watched event in CNN’s history, rivaling NFL football. On December 15, another GOP debate scored 18 million viewers. According to CNN.com, it became the third-most-watched primary debate of all time.

In other words, the event lagged way behind the Republican debates. Still, Deadline Hollywood saw the Obama event as a win for CNN.

A bad sign for Democrats in 2016.
