ABC was the top-rated network last night during the presidential debate, making it the #1 network for both presidential debates and the VP debate.

ABC was the only network to gain viewers from last week's highly-rated Vice Presidential debate, which was tied for the 2nd highest rated debate of all time.

In post-debate analysis, ABC averaged 9.92 million Total Viewers, NBC 8.35 and CBS 7.95. The cablers post-debate analysis came in behind CBS, with FNC, CNN and MSNBC placing 4th-6th.

However, last night's total viewership across the networks is expected to be less than last Thursday's vice presidential debate.
