# MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow sees double digit ratings drop since Trump's win

## Trump’s 2024 Election Day victory, 2019 Mueller report both hurt Maddow ratings

### Published March 13, 2025 5:00am EDT

Rachel Maddow has shed roughly a quarter of her viewers since  prevailed on Election Day, marking the second time that a Trump victory turned into a loss for MSNBC’s most popular host.

"The Rachel Maddow Show" averaged 2.3 million viewers from the start of 2024 until Election Day but has shed 22% for an average audience of 1.8 million from Trump’s victory through March 7.

The decline is even more dramatic among the advertiser-voted demographic of adults aged 25-54, as "The Rachel Maddow Show" has lost 29% in the critical category when comparing her post-Election Day audience to 2024’s total before Trump’s decisive win over then-Vice President Kamala Harris.
