‘Morning Joe’ & MSNBC Ratings Reveal Network Has Taken Hit Since Election

Jen Psaki, Joe Scarborough, and Alex Wagner

The viewing figures for Morning Joe and other MSNBC shows don’t appear to be getting any better following the fallout of Donald Trump‘s presidential election victory in November.

In a report from rival network Fox News, based on figures from Nielsen Media Research, Morning Joe is down 35% among total viewers, averaging 720,000, and down 37% in the key 25-54 demographic. However, Fox News does not specify which figures it is comparing these numbers to.

As previously reported, the morning show hosted by Joe Scarborough and Mike Brzezinski saw a dip in ratings following their meeting with Trump. The Monday, November 20 episode, where the hosts discussed their meeting with the president-elect, brought in 839,000 total viewers and 113,000 viewers in the 25-54 demo, while the Tuesday, November 21 episode dropped to 680,000 total viewers and 76,000 in the key demo.

Despite this dip, Morning Joe has remained relatively steady since. The show averaged 691,000 total viewers during the week of the Trump meeting announcement, which was only a 1.7% decline from the previous week’s average of 703,000. That said, both weeks were down significantly from the show’s previous quarter average of 1.14 million viewers.

Other MSNBC shows aren’t faring so well, however. As reported by Fox News, Alex Wagner Tonight, Inside with Jen Psaki, and The Last Word with Lawrence O’Donnell all recently hit record lows.

During the week of December 2, Alex Wagner Tonight averaged 595,000 total viewers, marking its lowest-rated week since the show’s 2022 debut. Meanwhile, Inside with Jen Psaki averaged 651,000 total viewers, the show’s smallest weekly audience since it launched last year.

The Last Word with Lawrence O’Donnell bucked the trend somewhat, as it increased its total viewership on the week prior. However, it hit a record low among the coveted 25-54 demo.

UPDATE 12/12/24: According to Nielsen ratings, Inside with Jen Psaki aired its most-watched telecast since the election on Monday, December 9, averaging 832,000 total viewers. This was up +17% versus the prior-4-week average.

It was also stated that on the week of 12/2, Alex Wagner Tonight averaged +44% more viewers than CNN’s The Source with Kaitlan Collins and has topped CNN in its timeslot every month since launch. Additionally, The Last Word‘s December 9 edition was up among total viewers and the key demo compared to the week prior.

According to The Daily Beast, a source at MSNBC told the publication that they expected a ratings dip after the election, and they think viewing figures will go back up once Trump is officially sworn in in January.

News networks, in general, are down post-election, with MSNBC down 47% and CNN down 33%. On the week of the Trump meeting announcement, even Fox News saw a small 9% dip. Meanwhile, in prime time, MSNBC lost 52% of its viewers, while CNN dropped 39%.

    I think many people, like myself, have just stopped watched the News Media in general...... after Trump being put back in the White House there doesn't seem to be much reason to watch anymore...... I refuse to sit and watch my country being run by convicted felons with no regard to law and order. I watch my local news for weather and nothing more.... I can't get my head around the fact that there are 70+ million people in this country that are hell bent on seeing it fall under a dictatorship..... I stopped talking to neighbors, or being friendly while out shopping, etc as I no longer know who the enemy is..... Sad but true!!

      You think liberals are for law and order? You guys have literally let in over 10 million illegal immigrants. Crime is up, prosecutions are down. You want to defund police. The Biden administration politically prosecuted Trump 94 times within months of him announcing his candidacy. Biden just pardoned his son for 11 years of crimes. They want to let men in girls bathrooms. Kill babies. And let's not forget about those BLM riots .You need to try a different news source

    I’m not going back to morning Joe ever. Joe bowed down to trump and it’s irked me for awhile now that Mika feels she has to bow down to Joe. I don’t need their BS in my life. Nichol Wallace and the whole prime time crew I’m ok with but I’m taking a break from it now.

    I still think one gets the most truth on MSNBC. Now, before you jump all over me, there are those with integrity. Not everyone did what Joe and Mika did. I too was disgusted and stopped watching the show even before that. Why write off an entire network because of a few bad apples?????? There's still Rachel and Lawrence, Nicole, Ari M.. I have done alot of research on cable channels and MSNBC for the most part is still the most honest.

      I agree. I find MSNBC to be the most accurate and unbiased of all the networks. Fox outwardly lies and don't care that we know it. CNN gets so much wrong and they really sensationalize most stories. MSNBC makes mistakes but they try to report honestly. However. I am only watching Joy right now. I think she was the most realistic and transparent up to the election. I'm a little angry with the rest ESPECIALLY Joe and Mika. Not watching anyone but Joy!

      The ratings tanked BEFORE they visited Trump. And did you know they were VERY chummy with him when he ran in 2016? They both expected cabinet positions from him and when he declined that, they turned on him. You people need to do your research because you cannot depend on a talking head to tell you the truth. Do better people. Do better.

    The biggest hosts at MSNBC committed two journalist "Sins,"

    1) They only covered stories favorable to Democrats or harmful to Republicans, (for the most part). They did cover potentially damaging stories like the Hunter Biden laptop scandal or the Hillary Clinton email scandal of 2016.

    2) When they covered the potentially damaging stories, they spent the entire time making excuses for the Democrats or lecturing the Republicans for "misinformation." In other words, they were not fair and honest.

    Here is the kicker though, Fox news did all these same things... So why do we not see a similar decline in Fox's ratings? Why are all the rating drops mostly from the left-leaning networks? Because their viewers feel betrayed. The liberal networks have been warning the country for years that Trump is a fascist, is Hitler, is an autocrat and that he will most likely end elections, kill democracy and imprison anybody that disagrees with him. If all this is true, why was there not more outrage on election night? Why not calls for Kamala to not certify the election? Why accept Hitler?

    The morning Joe crew told us Hitler was on the ballot and then they got lunch with the Führer when he won the election. How could you not feel betrayed after that?

    It was the economy, stupid. Before the election I didn't hear about how wages weren't keeping up with inflation, but I did hear about it from Steve Ratner afterwards. And still most days when they are trying to figure out why the Dems lost they go on for more than 20 mins before even mentioning inflation. Trump was handcuffed after the 2018 Mid-terms and Steve Mnuchin (Trump's Secretary of Treasury) had to give Nancy Pelosi most she wanted in Covid relief. When a guy like Mitch McConnell is saying before an election that a third stimulus (that can also be used as vote buying) isn't needed, Biden should have listened. Until he became President Biden, he was 4 years retired and had nothing to do with the first two covid stimulus packs, but he certainly could have vetoed or sent back the third stimulus so that it was only targeted to those who truly required it. And some of the same economists who tried to warn the Dems are warning the Republicans about "Smoot Hawley" or worse style tariffis. But how can these hosts & pundits relate, most of them were born very well off and have never had to worry about paying their bills let alone a bankrupting healthcare crisis.

    Before the election I watched a number of different news programs from around the world, every day..I also read quite a number of international newspapers (mostly the front pages and opinion/editorial pages). Since the election I have been unable to watch any news, not even local news. When I try, I get physically ill. It was an accident that I found out about Joe and Mika going to Florida to meet with DJT...I barely made the bathroom in time...

    Well, I guess on the 20th the "10 million illegals" will all start being shipped back to wherever, kinda like the wall Mexico paid for. At least those H1Bs will explode thanks to President Musk and 1st Lady Ramyswamy.🙄. As for the defund the police, that was as stupid notion, but I believe the premise was to invest more into the training of officers who didn't shoot people in the back, then ask questions later. trump was prosecuted by new york, (states rights remember), and as for the stolen documents, he stole them and should be held accountable. We have a convicted felon for a President! All companies should forego any background checks, if you can rape, steal, and incite a riot and still become President, you should be able to work anywhere in America. Cells are not babies, and if during your pregnancy you find out the most horrific news about the health of your child, and wish to terminate, that is a "you and God" decision. BLM protests for the most part were peaceful, Minnesota, and George Floyd, was misguided anger and hurt after seeing a public murder by a police officer. What the reason for the Jan 6th rage? I think you need to try a different source.

If you break the law, you get prosecuted. Biden did not politically prosecute anyone. But Donald Trump told us he would be on a revenge tour when he got back in the White House and that is exactly what he's doing. When you lose the rule of law you have a country that isn't quite fit to live in.

    I also stopped watching news, canceled subscriptions, post election and have not returned as of February 2nd. But stopped with Morning Joe before that. Mika clutched her pearls if anyone even remotely hinted at a criticism for Joe Biden. And I have to think guests must be paid well to be on show and get maybe 5 words out before Joe interrupts and begins to pontificate about whatever. Next it's break and guest is not seen again. How is that news? I enjoy my morning much more by not feeling like I need to shout at the TV.

    I will tune back in to MSNBC at a later date when I can wrap my head around the We the People who actually elected Trump are the majority. That's not an easy thing to do.

    I get that Joe and Mika might be concerned about repercussions from the Trump administration. But the glaring hypocrisy of criticizing other pols who have "kissed the ring" is way too much to ignore.

    I also can't abide the treatment he gave Michael Steele with the whole discussion about civility towards Trump.

    I'm out and I'm guessing some of their more important guests will opt out as well.

    I used to watch morning Joe for 4 hours every morning. I will never pay any attention to them again. The t thing accused Joe of Murder and disparaged Mika after a facelift. They spent years talking about Kevin McCarthy and L Graham for “kissing the ring” in deference to the t thing. They did the same. Zero Credibility!!!!

    I agree. I’ve watched Morning Joe for about as long as it has been on the air. I remember how Mika and Joe treated Hillary in 2016. Trump would call into the show any time and they would always let him babble on. However, Hillary would “have to appear on set” before they would let her call in. Unbelievable the amount of free air time Trump got from them. I have been watching CNN ever since Mika and Joe’s infamous post election meeting with Trump.

    The day Joe and Mika said they went to visit Trump was the day I quit watching their show. After all the months of disparaging him they went to kiss the ring to try and save themselves from his retribution. No honorable journalist should ever do that. Really the only daytime show commentator I watch is Nicole Wallace. She has stuck to her guns and I still watch her everyday..

    I enjoy watching you Willie Geist because you are straightforward with the news and don’t require to be the dominant ( insecure) star like Joe. It is refreshing to watch Willie because he does not constantly interrupt his colleague Mika, nor the guests. Instead of backing up all your discussions regarding Trump’s dispicable behavior Jan 6, 2020, Joe actually went to visit Trump. Joe Scarborough you owe an apology to your viewers for crossing the line as a professional reporter. Let Willie take over.

    I have enjoyed the larger number of guests on Morning Joe and the effort to bring on people with other perspectives. For now, like many, I have stepped back from US political news- Watching more about France, Germany and emerging economies. I think the US may be in a decline in many ways. There is a retraction of sorts, a pulling back. This will encourage other nations to fill the void and US media will be impacted by this change. Owners will make hard decisions. Better or worse? Makes no difference. It just is.

    I think just like there day to day reporting their numbers are inflated. I believe what you’re seeing now is more true. They hate Trump and only those that hate Trump watch. Just like when Trump leaned into the NBC reporter and asked her just be fair. If you’re fair you will see an increase in viewers. But when you look at Peter Baker article in the NYT they are going to use the same playbook.

    I am so disappointed in those two. I have watched them for years ndI will watch other programs but not morning joe. This was very opportunistic on their part. Maybe they can get a job at Fox since Mika thinks there are very good people at Fox and apologized for a contributor. A phease out of frumps playbook.Then the other one started screaming at the audience.

    As in many scandals follow the money.

    J & M salaries depend on ratings.

    They have exposed themselves as liars and motivated by only by ratings and $$$.

    Their disgraceful behavior is disappointing to their viewers. Joe’s constant high school like “glory days” of his time in congress and Mika’s “know your value” are now both pathetic jokes. Just add them to the list of turncoat butt kissers (Ted Cruz, VD Vance etc..)

    Part of the problem is there's only a select few options to watch them if you do not have cable TV like you can watch CNN if you have an HBO Max app I'm sure you would have more viewers if you had a app where they can pay just to watch your station and not have to hook up cable as far as Joe and his wife seeing Trump I guess I have to say I watch them because I can trust they're not like Fox which that means you have to talk to people you don't agree with if it's politics he has been elected president

    Probably not worth commenting at this late stage, but myself and many of my "never Trump" friends are little miffed at msnbc. For months we've been screaming at the television "why aren't you talking more about the good Joe Biden has done?" The economy, the economy, the infrastructure the job creation. The number of bills he's had passed that are positive for our communities. If Trump did all this, Republicans would never stop talking about it. You don't have to be for Joe Biden as president, you can want Harris or another Democrat but you have to build up the backbone of the Democrats and MSNBC failed in that manner. Criticizing trump is not enough, just as all Trump does is criticize democrats. Criticism does not turn into governing or leading which Democrats did during Joe Biden years. That should have been the MSNBC mantra and we continue to eat our own.

    Anyone who still thinks that mainstream media is "honest" or unbiased is delusional. All that MSM does is hate Donald Trump, if you are a cheerleader for that then you're right at home. If you're part of the majority of people who desire accurate information and seek the truth MSNBC isn't an option for you. I'm sorry but Joy Reid is the most racist person on the air, Rachel Maddow is equally insufferable, these women are as toxic as The View. Legacy media is all but dead, if not dead yet they're well on their way.

    I believe Bernie Sanders who stated Joe Biden showed signs of aging, not mental decline. Had democrats i.e. Nancy Pelosi, not listened to the Donors, Biden might have actually won. Somehow, GOP stuck with their candidate but Dems didn't which is when his poll numbers dropped. I stopped watching MSNBC after the debate when they knocked Biden but were fine with the constant lies from Trump. I'm sure Pelosi was busy calling the media also. All because of Donors. So angry with Rob Reiner, Pelosi and MSNBC. Pelosi up to her scheming again. Knocking out AOC for a plum position in favor of an old man with cancer! Morning Joe, wow, they kissed the ring out of fear regardless of their LAME excuses. They are not journalists. In fact, MSNBC only covered Trump for the past 9 years. Rachel Maddow used to be a real journalist, i.e. when she covered the Flint water crisis and did other news stories. MSNBC also got rich off Trump. There is SO MUCH news not covered.

They ALL balls and strikes and are informative. Ali Velashi and The Weekend table is pretty good on weekends. I was done with CNN when they did that Trump "Town Hall" with an audience of filled with Trump supporters, not real and diverse people.
