CNN's ratings dropped again in April after the network experienced its worst month in three years.

Prime-time viewership at CNN was 761,000 with 553,000 viewers during the daytime, according to Nielsen Media Research.

CNN's ratings drop resulted in the lowest number of demographic viewers since August 2015. CNN's "Cuomo Primetime" with host Chris Cuomo saw its worst demographic viewership numbers since its debut in June 2018.

Fox News dominated the cable news viewership numbers with 2,388,000 viewers, followed by MSNBC with 1,654,000 and CNN. Fox also held the top two cable news programs, with "Tucker Carlson Tonight" garnering 2.8 million viewers and "Hannity" bringing in 3.1 million viewers.

In April, CNN had its worst ratings since October 2015, experiencing a 26% fall in viewership from the same month a year ago.

I don't understand, America has a population of over 400 million people and only a few million watch the news? That doesn't make sense. I do have it right by understanding that this poll is strictly for encrypted cable TV, right? What is the polling differential regarding free to air TV and how does cable influence that? Having this information would surely shed more light on the situation. Fox dominates with 2.38 million viewers?!! That's not domineering, it's a pathetic excuse for a flea's poo on a dog's back.

Mysterkarl The population of the U.S. is 327,100,000 not over 400,000,000 and the reason we don't watch to news is because it's bias. Not a little bias, big time bias. CNN is the worse of the bunch and that's why their rating are tanking.

sleepercell So how does the US have over 400 million voters? Perhaps I did not account for expats? Perhaps they left because of the overt bias in newstertainment. Oh, I get it! Of course... the US has military outposts EVERYWHERE (with a particular concentration in eastern Europe) so that must make up for the 1million outstanding American voters . With that in mind the media bias must extend across the Atlantic and sheer across the Pacific to bias the media companies in faraway nations where expats will be found (Like Coca Cola during WWII) so that when these expats tune in to local media they can continue to be belittled and slandered in a gross psychological campaign (that has been going on for upward of a century) that was created to brainwash them (and afterward, the rest of the world) in to submission. Those tentacles writhe across the world, crawling... crawling.

Thanks Sleepercell for pointing out the error in my population figures.
