Early Nielsen ratings show that Thursday night's Fox News debate was the second-lowest rated debate of the primary season, according to a CNN report.
Without Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump participating, the debate got an 8.4 Nielsen rating, according to the report.
That's better than the previous debate hosted by Fox Business Network, which got a 7.4 Nielsen rating. But that was a strong number for Fox Business Network, which is less widely available than Fox News and CNN. Thursday's rating would be much smaller than the 15.9 Nielsen rating for the first GOP debate hosted by Fox News in August.

It would have been much better for Teddy for less people who saw him on center stage the better. Cruz failed.
The moderators' attacks were obvious. Cruz calmly addressed their pointed questions, then went on to make his own points.
It was easy for viewers to see why Trump wanted to duck the debate.
Cruz and Rubio always come off as presidential. Last night Cruz withstood the most withering attacks and Rubio was more hyperactive than he typically is.
The last debate was held on Fox Business News, a third tier cable channel many systems do not carry. Nice try, though. LOL!
Chuckle/snort. That's cute.
Donald Trump:
"I Could Stand In the Middle Of Fifth Avenue And Shoot Somebody And I Wouldn't Lose Any Voters"
Lonesome Rhodes:
"Those morons out there? Shucks, I could take chicken fertilizer and sell it to them as caviar. I could make them eat dog food and think it was steak. You know what the public's like? A cage of guinea pigs. Good night, you stupid idiots. Good night, you miserable slobs. They're a lot of trained seals. I toss them a dead fish and they'll flap their flippers."
Once again Trump proves he’s smarter than the average bear. He probably wrapped up the Iowa caucus last night with his Vet rally.
Agree.
Cruz’s poor performance along with Trumps fundraiser will doom
Cruz.
“The One”?????
So, you are an Obama fan, huh???
Taking his “The Won” and turning it toward Trump...
Ha! Trump was wrong. It turned out to not be the lowest rated debate. The lowest rated debate was the one Trump participated in. What a loser...lololololol!
lol...
and the people who did watch the debate got to see Cruz as the target...he was hurt more than people think.
Watch Iowa.
Actually, not how it works.
Maybe you need to explain to us how it actually works......
Crap. I replied to wrong post.
My apologies.
OK...No problem...*L*
