Presidential debate ratings plummet on broadcast networks
By Joe Concha - 09/30/20 02:45 PM EDT

The first presidential debate between President Trump and Democratic nominee Joe Biden was watched by 29 million viewers on broadcast networks ABC, CBS, NBC and Fox, marking a 35 percent drop from the first 2016 debate between Trump and Hillary Clinton, which was watched by 45 million on broadcast networks, according to early numbers from Nielsen.

Final numbers, including for the major cable news networks of Fox News, MSNBC and CNN, are expected late Wednesday afternoon.

In 2016, 84 million tuned in to see Trump and Clinton square off when the final numbers were tallied, making it the most-watched debate since the only showdown between Republican challenger Ronald Reagan and President Carter in 1980, which drew 80 million in an era with far few TV channels and no internet.


The 2020 number for Trump and Biden does not include streaming options, which have become increasingly popular in recent years.

The evening was marred by dozens of interruptions and personal insults.

This election was over since January, as plain people want nothing further to do w/Trump.
The count on Nov 3 is simply a formality!!!

I agree with @Absalom

Donald Trump is the spawn of Satan who will get us all killed!!
Everybody knows that! Which is why Biden is sure to win 99% of the vote in November.
Everything Trump has ever said or done is a lie!
AAAARRRRHHhhhhh!

I HATE DONALD TRUMP!!!!!!!!!!
IT IS MAKING ME CRAAAAAZY!!!!!!!!!!!

@mystery-ak

Trump had rally in Minnesota this evening.  The report is, there were barely enough people to fill the stands and there was low energy from the crowd.  A reporter said he thought maybe people were burned out by the debate and stayed home rather than go to the rally.

Which day and which year?

There is so much subversion going on now. And you want to lead the charge Lightfoot?

[bigheadfred]

You tie yourself into a Gordian knot and lead a failed charge.

Anachronstically, @Absalom , I am going to fondly think of you as Gordian Lightfoot. Peace out.

Trump rallies supporters in Minnesota

September 30, 2020 / 9:40 PM / CBS News

President Trump made a swing through Minnesota on Wednesday, after Tuesday night's first debate match-up against Joe Biden, in which he incessantly interrupted the Democratic nominee.

Mr. Trump made two private stops to meet with supporters and raise money in the Greater Twin Cities area, before heading to Duluth for his rally. The president was expected to raise $7 million at a reception in Sherwood, Minnesota.

At least 1,000 Trump showed up in Duluth, CBS News estimates. The theme of the rally was "Make Logging Great Again," as timber-bearing tractor trailers line the perimeter of the outdoor airport hangar. "FILL THAT SEAT" signs were in the audience seats.

https://www.cbsnews.com/news/watch-live-stream-trump-rallies-supporters-in-minnesota-today-09-30-2020/



Meanwhile, in Greensburg, PA  .  .  .

‘I love being on the train.’ Biden’s Amtrak tour comes to Trump-friendly southwestern Pa.

.  .  At the Greensburg train station, about 50 people lined up across from the platform to see Biden’s train pull in, holding up Biden-Harris signs and a few in “Make America Sane Again” red caps.  .  .


@Victoria33 , did your reporter mention anything about the pathetic turnout for Biden's train ride?

Just saw the rally in Duluth. 25,000+ people. Energy was the same as it always is at all the Trump rallies.
Don't know who told you this, but you have incorrect information.

I watched part of the rally either on OAN or FOX.  Nothing low-energy about it.

Sure seemed like an animated crowd to me, and not in the CGI sense. Keep in mind it's windy, and in the 40s and 50s in the higher midcontinent latitudes, an hour and a half is a long time to stand still.

[dfwgator]

That's good news. People are abandoning the fake news networks.  There are now plenty of ways to watch debates without Lefty talking heads adding their stupid opinions.

I think regardless who wins, we could see the end of the traditional news media. I hope.

It looked like a capacity crowd to me. He seemed to be tired though, I don't know how he manages so many of those things.

@Cyber Liberty and TO ALL WHO COMMENTED ON THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE AND ENERGY AT THE MINNESOTA RALLY

I did not get the name of the reporter who was at the rally - and he was speaking as the people were leaving so he was the first one I heard after it was just over.  I have now looked at several pictures/films of it and it looks like a lot of people rather than barely enough to fill the stands.

What is the evaluation of energy?  How does one determine what is energy?
I need to look up the temperature there that evening.  I saw almost everyone wearing a jacket/coat.  And, Trump was wearing his long coat.  Seriously, I will look up the temperature.  Summer is one thing, don't need many clothes, it is in the 70s here during the day and 60s at night.  Minnesota is way north of Texas.  It is not as easy to move around in winter clothes.  Appears to me, more clothes means less shown energy.

He goes to two rallies today, again in northern state or states.  Will try to see them to evaluate crowd and "energy".

@Cyber Liberty AND OTHERS ABOUT MINNESOTA RALLY

The debate was Tuesday, Sept.29.
Tuesday morning temp was 52.
The high was 61 at 6 pm..
Wednesday morning temp was 52.

The high at 6 pm, 61, would have dropped to in the 50s before the rally began.
People had on coats just as Trump did.  I think this is the reason for someone to say there was less energy at this rally.

------------------------------
The EC vote, developed from extensive data by
Gallup, Rasmussen, WSJ and Zogby; as of 9/30/20
w/no toss up states, breaks down as follows:
Biden 353 (66%) and Trump 185 (34%).
For the Fan Club, that's either an utter fraud or a nail biter.
Why of course!!!!!!!!!!!

Don't ignore wind chill, either. I can tolerate temperatures in the 40s wearing a t-shirt, if I am active, and out of the wind, but out in the wind, it is a different story. Look at the flags, and you will see these folks were not out of the wind.
