"MSNBC & CNN Decline: During Trump's second term, MSNBC (MS NOW) prime-time viewers dropped 27% to 945,000, and CNN fell 16% to 594,000, reversing their growth from Trump 1.0.
News Surge: Fox News led cable with an average prime-time audience of 2.76 million, up 11%, dominating the top 12 most-watched programs.
Historical Contrast: In 2017, MSNBC and CNN saw record ratings growth under Trump 1.0, with shows like The Rachel Maddow Show reaching 2.55 million viewers, highlighting a dramatic shift in audience trends.
The country's top liberal cable news outlets found their ratings going in the opposite direction in 2025 compared to President Donald Trump's first term in 2017.
Outkick founder Clay Travis noted on the social media platform X on Thursday, "Interesting that MSNBC and CNN both saw viewership tank in first year of Trump 2.0. Huge change from Trump 1.0 when he sent their ratings soaring. Meanwhile Fox News grew by double digits."
