Donald Trump and Joe Biden clashed for the final time on live television in last night’s second presidential debate, which by all accounts was somewhat more watchable than the first. However, early numbers put it behind the first debate by around 21%.
Last night’s debate garnered 21.4 million viewers across ABC, CBS and NBC in the fast national ratings. At this same stage, the first debate had tallied over 28 million total viewers across those three broadcast networks, plus Fox (which aired “Thursday Night Football” this time around). The largest debate from the 2016 cycle had over 45 million viewers in the fast nationals.
ABC is currently on top of the broadcast pile, scoring around 8.8 million viewers in the 9-11 p.m. timeframe. NBC isn’t all that far behind with 8.1 million, while CBS is currently a distant third at this stage with around 4.6 million total viewers.
