CNN gains in second night of debate, but ratings are still down over NBC’s

After scoring disappointing ratings for the first night of its democratic debate, CNN’s second night saw a bit of an uptick — though it still didn’t beat NBC’s ratings.

According to initial data reported by Variety, CNN drew 10.7 million viewers on the second night of the debate.

That’s up 24% over the first night’s 8.7 million.

NBC’s debate, which aired on the peacock network, MSNBC and Telemundo, attracted 15..3 million the first night and 18.1 million the second.
