According to Nielsen data, the viewership on MSNBC on Thursday, analyzing
Trump’s win, brought in a total for all day of 596,000 viewers — and in the
coveted age demographic, of ages 25-54, a total of 71,000 viewers, Mediaite
reported.

Over on CNN, coverage of Trump’s election victory throughout the day on

just 91,000 viewers.

Primetime coverage for both networks was even worse, with MSNBC host Alex

its worst audience since May of 2016, the outlet noted.

Year over year, MSNBC’s numbers were also down 23 percent, while CNN’s

 Translation: Lefties and Proggies are despondent, and just want to tune everything out.
 I wonder how long that will last?... My guess? Up to a year, but likely at least half a year.
 

Meanwhile, wall to wall election coverage of Trump and his electoral and
popular win was a boom for Fox News — whose viewership on Thursday was around
2.6 million, with 375,000 viewers watching from the key age demo. The
audience for Fox News was up by more than 60 percent compared to a year
prior, the outlet noted.

 Yeah, and my guess is that will continue, until Trump does something to piss nearly everyone off. I suspect that will also take about a year (though if he fucks up Ukraine badly enough, it may be sooner...).
 

He won by 2 or 3 percentage points. That's no landslide. Whoever Ubi's plagiarizing from, doesn't know what the words mean.
