Survey Shows Majority of Young Self-Identifying Democrats More Likely to Watch Fox News Than CNN or MSNBC

An exclusive report from TheWrap on Tuesday spelled bad news for the mainstream media and the left alike, with data analyzing viewership across Fox News, MSNBC, and CNN showing strong gains for Fox and the opposite for the other aforementioned outlets. The data was collected through polling and surveying Americans aged 25-54.

Initial results were largely unsurprising, with surveys concluding that a majority of both Republicans and independents watch Fox News:

The Nielsen MRI Fusion numbers reveal that in October, Fox News unsurprisingly got the majority of the audience of self-proclaimed Republicans, with 69% of them overall tuning into total-day programming and 73% of them in the demo tuning into primetime programming. CNN and MSNBC split the remaining conservatives with totals in the low double-digit percentages. Fox News also commanded the largest number of independents in the key news demo during primetime and total-day hours: 55% of those 25-54 watched the network in primetime, compared to CNN’s 23% and MSNBC’s 22%. During total-day hours, 58% of independents in the demo watch Fox News, 18% chose MSNBC and 25% selected CNN.
