NPR: Huge Viewership For Palin

Huge Viewership For Palin

Day three of the GOP convention was watched by more than 37.2M people, according to Nielsen.

Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin's speech was an especially big draw for women (19.5M). That is 5.2M more women than watched the second day of the Democratic convention, the day of Hillary Clinton's speech. 6.9M more women watched Republican convention coverage last night than the Democratic proceedings last Wednesday -- the night Joe Biden accepted the Democrats' VP nomination.

Obama and Palin continue to be the interest-generating pols of the election. The Palin speech was just over 1M shy of the record-breaking viewership of Obama's acceptance speech.
