Tuesday night featured three crucial elections in two states across the country—Wisconsin and Florida. CNN provided special coverage, which helped its primetime numbers. Overall though, the network still finished in third place in total viewers and in the Adults 25-54 demo. Fox News’ The Five, repeated as the No. 1 program of the evening in total viewers and remained the only show to cross the 4 million total viewer mark, despite the special election interest. As usual, The Rachel Maddow Show led the way for MSNBC.
