The Washington Post has posted the ratings for last night’s Obama “Infomercial.” The early raings show that it got 30.1 million viewers. ABC, who did not show “Barack Obama: American Stories” got 6.6 million viewers for “Pushing Daisies” (more than its 5.7 million last week and even more than the 6.3 million it got for the season premiere). Some further breakdown of the ratings:
- NBC: 10 million (last week: 8 million for “Knight Rider”)
- CBS: 8.7 million (last week: 8 million for “The New Adventures of Old Christine”)
- FOX: 8 million (last week: 10 million for “Bones”)
- Univision: 3.7 million
Numbers are not yet available for cable networks (MSNBC, BET and TVOne) that also showed the special.
It will be interesting to see if this has any affect on the momentum the McCain campaign has had the past week. We may not know for sure for a few days as polls tend to lag influences such as this.
