Final viewership for both conventions was about equal on the final night.
Some observations from the GOP side: I felt like Monday and Wednesday were bad nights and people tuned out accordingly. I also felt like Tuesday and Thursday were strong nights and people tuned in accordingly.
Comparing Biden’s speech to Trump’s speech: both showed to be about equal with Biden having a slightly higher viewership. I don’t think the difference is meaningful.
What I do think is meaningful is that Trump had substantially higher viewership than Clinton in 2016. I do think that is something to take note of.
Trump drew much more attention than Clinton in 2016 but Biden is drawing as much (if not more) attention than Trump in 2020.
