The first Sunday after the midterm elections was a mixed bag for the Sunday public affairs shows.
As usual, NBC’s “Meet the Press” won the day in both total viewers and the adults 25-54 demographic. Total viewership was up slightly compared to the previous week, but the demo numbers were down.
On the other hand, ABC’s “This Week” was up in both categories compared to last week, while CBS’ “Face the Nation” was down in both.
