C-SPAN's livestream of the first night of the Republican National Convention has attracted nearly 440,000 views, marking a substantial increase over the start of the Democratic National Convention, which drew 76,000 views.

The numbers for Monday night come ahead of traditional TV ratings from Nielsen Media Research, which will be released on Tuesday afternoon.

According to Nielsen, 18.7 million people tuned in to the first night of the virtual Democratic convention from Milwaukee and Wilmington, Del., on Aug. 17, which featured speeches from former first lady Michelle Obama and former Ohio Gov. John Kasich (R)



We will have to wait until later on today to get a better picture of the overall viewing numbers for last night.

4. Would you mind posting back when they come out.

2. Is it counting bots?

How many views from St. Petersburg? No, not Florida

3. Yeah numbers should be out soon

That C-Span stream is not great for either party. 440K viewers is nothing and the 76K viewers is nothing as well.

5. I will confess

I watched very little of the Democratic Convention. Why. I will willingly chew glass, spit it out, then crawl over it to vote a straight D ticket.

9. I like your visual imagery. It takes "crawling over broken glass" to a new level.

I feel the same way.

6. A lot of the RNC viewers could be watching purely for entertainment

Lower numbers for DNC could be because most of the country already knows who they're voting for.

7. Plenty here seem to be watching.

I’m sure he appreciates that.

8. Do they count all the people watching

Through sites like youtube? That's how I watched.

10. People will always gawk at a train wreck.

11. They will slow down and look at a wreck on the other side of the median.
