According to a report from the U.K.&#8217;s Daily Mail, the network&#8217;s &#8220;Morning Joe&#8221; is falling behind CNN&#8217;s &#8220;News Central&#8221; in the crucial 25 to 54 age demographic. For the first three months of 2025, &#8220;News Central&#8221; has averaged 73,000 viewers in this demographic, while &#8220;Morning Joe&#8221; has only managed 64,000. Since Trump&#8217;s election victory in November, &#8220;Morning Joe&#8221; has seen a significant decline, losing 39% of its total audience and 46% among viewers aged 25 to 54. In March alone, MSNBC averaged just 629,000 daily viewers\u2014a drop of 24% compared to March 2024\u2014and an overall decrease of 18% for the first quarter with an average of about 1.02 million viewers.<\/p>\n<p>In February, MSNBC canceled Joy Reid\u2019s controversial show \u201cThe ReidOut,\u201d followed by layoffs at \u201cThe Rachel Maddow Show.\u201d It seems that promoting Democratic Party narratives hasn&#8217;t helped boost viewership.
