The ratings are in for night 4 of the Democrats' convention. The six network ratings (ABC, CBS, NBC, MSNBC, CNN and FNC) were down about 25% from where they were in 2016 when Hillary gave her acceptance speech. Only a little over 21 million people watched. Some pundits try to make this seem not so bad by pointing out that there were people who live streamed the convention. While there may be a few people who watched the convention on their phones or computers, I really doubt that it was all that many. And for what it is worth, the big draw of the night was a live eviction on Big Brother on CBS.
Once again, the lack of enthusiasm for Biden came to the fore. Normally, the nominee's speech on the last night of the convention is the big TV draw. Biden didn't even increase the audience over the small crowd that Kamala Harris attracked the prior night.
By contrast, yesterday, President Trump went to Old Forge PA, a town near Biden's birthplace of Scranton PA. Old Forge has a population of just over 8000 people. Trump drew a huge crowd that was more than the entire population of the town.
