CNN-YouTube Debate: Success, Or Viewer ‘Fatigue’?

The numbers, via TVNewser:

The ratings are in for last night’s CNN/YouTube debate. And either viewers are getting debate-fatigue, or the debate may not have been as revolutionary as some would have hoped: 2,552,000 total viewers watched, 831,000 in the 25-54 demo and 663,000 in the (presumably YouTube-friendly) 18-49 demo. CNN had more viewers when the Democratic candidates debated on Sunday, June 3: 2,714,000 total viewers, 1,050,000 (25-54), 836,000 (18-49).
