ABC’s Good Morning America continues to lead in viewers, and holds the season-to-date lead in viewers and the demo.

Today closed the demo lead with GMA by 64 percent and the total viewer lead by 27 percent quarter-to-date vs. the same period last year. Despite the win, the NBC show is seeing its lowest demo season performance in 23 years – since at least the 1991-92 season.
