Those numbers are a little misleading. Yes, the number of people watching these kinds of events on television is down. But more and more people are watching these things on their smartphones or tablets, and the rating services don't pick up those numbers.

So the only thing that may be telling is Trumps difference from 4 years ago. If it too is a 33% drop, then Biden is doing about the same as Hillary.

If it were only that easy, but it's not. Trump's supporters tend to be older and less urban, meaning they watch more television and less smartphones and tablets. Like many things that are dumbed down to influence the public, it's a complicated formula that both sides use as evidence they're winning the battle.

So there is an expected drop, just not as much as what the expected drop was for Biden. A percentage of Bidens drop is the change in how people are viewing and that expected drop is less for Trump.
So, if Trumps viewership drops say 20%, it probably is equal to Bidens drop. If Trump drops 33%, then it is probably a sign that is negative for Trump, even though the numbers match Biden. If Trumps numbers stay the same, it is a big positive for Trump.

My guess is that they all drop as its a sign of the times, the landscape created by Covid. Yes more people may be at home, but like sports right now no one is tuning in, they are simply turned off and really turned off by the formats. Its a fake convention, it's not a "LIVE" event. Like the NBA its not participatory, its a bubble! There is disconnect as well as fatigue. It would be surprising if Trump pulled in equal or close to equal numbers as 2016.
Thin about this, Trumps strongest attribute really is his "LIVE" performances, he commands a show, this Plandemic has virtually taken away all his advantages, Trump rallies were his strength and rallies certainly would have been Bidens weakness.

Trump is going to win in a historic landslide not seen since 1988.

I feel and have seen things in the past week that have me headed in this direction...., things are about to blow up in the Democrats faces, the conventions are so vastly different set against a background of liberal leftist violence... who is voting such insanity? To further support my gut feeling, very liberal friends of mine are going ape-sh*t over the convention, meaning the convention for the RNC is working. Simply watch the politic ads running now by the Republicans..., devastating to the Democrats and what they have supported and stand for and allow to happen.

Reading through this my hunch seems legit... Where is Biden’s post-convention bounce?
Polls suggest the DNC was a flop
"‘Why is Trump performing well with voters when he shouldn’t be?’ Zogby Analytics asks. ‘How in the world are things close again?’
One answer is that things always were close. Biden quite possibly never was 14 percent ahead, as CNN claimed. Another is that Harris never was the magic bullet that would revitalize Biden’s image and sell him to black voters. A third is that rioting, looting and calling anyone who disagrees with you a racist might not be the best way to reach swing voters.
A fourth reason is that when voters with better things to do than follow politics watched the Democratic convention, they didn’t like what they saw: a two-ring circus of identity politics grievance with a ringmaster so raddled by age that he is more likely to crack a hip than crack the whip." |

This appears to be quickly spinning out of control for the Democrats..., and to think the NBA Bucks just doubled down on now less than popular opinion of BLM.

Trump is going to win in a historic landslide not seen since 1988. I think you might be assuming a fair and even election. IF the election is above board, yes, I believe Trump will win. but I do not believe the election will be fair or above board. they’ve now had over 3 years to perfect the flaws in their plan that downed Hillary. |

With a bump from RNC convention week combined with none fro Biden, I think the rioters and BLM with the support of the Democratic Party is beginning to show they will lose, possibly lose big. Anyone think they can get out of this now? Is it too late to call off the Antifa and BLM radicals...?

If the mobs are being funded as often alleged, they should be able to throttle it down.
