The viewership for the presidential debates this year was nothing short of phenomenal: Between all three debates more than 157 million people watched the presidential debates; throw in the vice presidential debate and you have more than 200 million viewers.
First Presidential Debate: 62.5 million (46.6 million for Bush v. Gore 2000 first debate)
Vice Presidential Debate: 43.6 million (28.5 million for Cheney v. Lieberman 2000 Debate)
Second Presidential Debate: 46.7 million--and this was a Friday night! (37.6 million for Bush v. Gore 2000 second debate)
Third Presidential Debate: 51 million (37.7 million for Bush v. Gore 2000 third debate)
Clearly people understand the importance, from a human perspective, of this election.
I am excited to see the numbers from the coming Main Event.

sorry for the confusion.
