Trump may have shot himself in the foot

[woolldog]

<...>startling new research has revealed Mr Trump's reality TV show , Celebrity Apprentice, is mainly watched by Democrats - and not Republicans as previously thought.

Previously it was thought in some quarters that Mr Trump's will-he, won't-he presidential posturing was simply a publicity stunt to boost ratings for the show.

But new evidence from The Atlantic shows audiences for the flamboyant billionaire's prime time programme are down on the same time last year.

The new research would suggest the show's mostly liberal audience are tuning out as Mr Trump continues his increasingly isolated views on the President's academic record.

Will Feltus, the senior vice president for research at National Media, said: 'I was surprised to find that the 'Celebrity Apprentice' was so liberal, because the audience for 'Survivor' is fairly Republican.

'It's a weird show because it's not a regular TV series. But based on MRI ratings, it is clearly a Democratic audience.'

Celebrity Apprentice viewership skews very liberal:



Celebrity Apprentice ratings since Trump began his nonsense:

[sharp_stick]

1. Jesus look at all the dems watching wife swap n/t

[Deep13]

2. He should aim higher next time. nt

[CBGLuthier]

4. damn. beat me to it

[Deep13]

7. sorry. nt

[FSogol]

3. Lies, Damn Lies, and Statistics? Looks like a lot of BS. In my experience, the more liberal you

are, the less tv you watch. I doubt reality programming is much of a hit with the politically active of the Democrats.

[Tunkamerica]

5. well, your experience is your experience and should be treated as such.

[MatthewStLouis]

8. I totally agree. The 'fakeness' and cheap production value has always been a turnoff for me. n/t

[Raine]

25. Democrats don't march in lock-step

different strokes for different folks. I watch TV, all sorts of programs and so do plenty of Democrats.

6. Trump in five months -- Columbus Day --

-- is where Palin is today, with GOP unfavorables 2x his favorables, and for the non-insane, reduced to the answer to a triva question, and an object of snark on Rumproast (the Saudi Arabia of Snark), but nothing more.

There are a lot of isotopes coming out of Fukushima with longer half-lives than Donald Trump's presidential campaign.

[soleft]

9. I used to watch it

never more

[woolldog]

14. Me too

It was one of my favorite shows.

[Raine]

26. Me too but I don't care for the "celebrity" editions.

I liked it when "real" (for lack of a better term) people were on and could get an actual career positon out of it.

10. More Democrats watch COPS?

I can see The Simpsons and Family Guy, since those shows have a liberal tilt. However, I'd think more Republicans would watch COPS. You know, to see their family members on the teevee and all...

[ecstatic]

17. We have our authoritarian wing as well :p nt

[LiberalFighter]

20. There is to me two different types of cop shows.

The one where they go in gang busters on everything like Cops. And Law and Order. Except when the scumbag Thompson is part of the cast.

I totally despise the first and do enjoy the latter especially with Goren. Also, the NCIS ones. But the CIS NY and Miami I don't care for but will watch sometimes. While I watch LV more.

11. Fork, meet Trumproast

[tibbiit]

12. My two fav shows

are rightwinger shows! big bang theory and the mentalist. amazing
tib

[Armstead]

13. Big Bang is right wing?

I haven't seen it much. But the times I have, I didn't notice any right wing bias. Was I missing something?

[Bluenorthwest]

15. The theory is that the audience leans right...

I did have to explain to a DUer once that Big Bang did not have explosions and violence, so maybe the tile is off putting....

[Mz Pip]

22. I love Big Bang Theory

There are very few comedy shows on TV that make me laugh out loud. Big Bang Theory is one and 30 Rock is the other.

[ecstatic]

16. I *was* one of the viewers... although I've always thought of Trump as tacky,

clown-like, and borderline racist. It was the contestant-interactions that I was more interested in. Needless to say, I won't be watching anymore!

[opihimoimoi]

18. His Hubristic behavior was THE KISS OF DEATH......his show has lost the shine

[MrSlayer]

19. The only thing I watch that is listed there is NFL football.

I catch Family Guy later when the season DVDs come out. I just don't watch network TV.

[Rosco T.]

21. May?

I mean.. may?

[Cirque du So-What]

23. The program that skews farthest to the Repug side?

ABC Saturday Night NCAA Football

Not that there's anything wrong with that, but it tells me that there are a whole buncha repugs who have nothing better to do on a Saturday night - certainly nothing that involves getting out of the house, such as going on a date.

[Liberal_Stalwart71]

24. Before he got all birthery/racist, I watched TCA for several seasons. I also watched

TA for several years. NOT ANYMORE!!!! :puke::puke::puke:

[madinmaryland]

27. Interestingly, I only watch one of the blue dot shows, 60 minutes.

I watch two of the red dot shows, the football games.

:shrug:

[Exilednight]

28. 2 things stand out.

1. all the news shows listed (20/20, 60 minutes) are on the Democratic side). Which explains a lot.

2. why are so many Democrats watching Cops? I'm quite surprised that it doesn't skew towards Republicans.
