An audience of 10.8 million people tuned into CNN and Univision’s Democratic presidential debate between former Vice President Joe Biden and Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) Sunday.

On CNN, 9.89 million tuned in overall, while 3.4 million viewers fell into the advertiser-coveted 25-54 age demo.

A further 848,000 tuned in to the debate at Univision, with 344,000 in the demo.

The debate, which was moderated by CNN anchor Jake Tapper, CNN chief political correspondent Dana Bash, and Univision anchor Ilia Calderón was the network’s most-viewed debate this election and the second-most viewed Democratic debate on CNN in television history.

3. Huge drop-off in watchers / ratings

But viewership fell short of the huge audience that tuned in for the last two Democratic debates in Nevada (19.7 million) and South Carolina (15.3 million), according to Nielsen.
