(15,438 posts)1. The numbers aren't in yet, but at heavy.com they say:
We dont have an exact number yet, but early ratings suggest that the final debate was up from the second but down from the first. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the final debate earned a 39.7 overnight rating. For comparison, the first debate got a 46.2 rating, and the second debate got a 37.2 rating.
Considering the second debate brought in 69 million viewers, we should probably expect the final debate to end up with an audience of between 70 and 75 million.

cable numbers not out yet:
Early indications are that the final presidentiaL debate between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton will fall somewhere between the numbers for the first two debates.
Pending updates, the combined audience on ABC, CBS, FOX and NBC was 34.32 million, above the preliminary 29.77 million for the second debate (which didnt air on NBC due to its Sunday Night Football contract) but well short of the early 45.31 million for the candidates first face-off. Spanish-language channels Univision (2.34 million) and Telemundo (1.54 million) added a little under 4 million more.
