The last debate — hosted by ABC in Houston, Texas, on Sept. 12 — garnered nearly 2 million more total viewers and nearly half-a-million more views for persons between 25 and 54.

CNN’s Tuesday debate was down 20% in total viewers and 18% in viewers between 25 and 54 compared to the network’s last debate in July.

ABC News’ Democratic primary debate on Sept. 9 pulled in the highest debate ratings so far in 2019, according to Nielsen.
