Bet the Viewership Number Over, Under for the Trump-Biden Debate
Oddsmakers believe that 80.5 million people will tune into Thursday night's highly anticipated debate between Donald Trump and Joe Biden.
From the New York Times:
"Prognosticators in the TV news business are expecting Thursday's audience to be between 30 million and 70 million viewers — a huge range but nevertheless lower than the Clinton-Trump matchup, even if it does turn out to be the most-watched event of this campaign season."
Undecided voters are the key focal point here for both candidates, it can be presumed.
Jacob Fischler of the Washington State Standard:
Partisans on either side have already made up their minds about which candidate they’ll support. And with this year’s race serving as a rematch of 2020, many Americans have already formed strong and possibly unchangeable opinions about the candidates.
Yet there is a sizable group of voters who haven’t decided who they’ll support in November, Christopher Stout, a professor of political science at Oregon State University, said in an interview with States Newsroom.
“On one hand, opinions about Joe Biden and Donald Trump are baked in,” Stout said. “On the other hand, there’s a lot of people who aren’t paying any attention to politics and this is their first time thinking about the 2024 election.”
For Biden, a major objective will be to show voters the 81-year-old incumbent can be energetic and forceful, Stout and political strategists said.
Trump, 78, may focus on appealing to voters in the ideological middle and wavering Republicans who want a conservative candidate but are turned off by the former president’s antics.
