Primetime Cable Ratings: January 28, 2016

Even without Mr. Trump, the GOP Presidential Debate drew the TV's biggest audience, with 12.5 million viewers. It was the second lowest rated GOP debate this political season and the last before the voting population actually begins to decide who to pick as their candidate. The Iowa Caucus is Monday, February 1.

Outside of politics, WWE SMACKDOWN was the top regular series, ranking third on the night, with 2.7 million viewers and a 0.9 rating in Adults 18-49. That is up a tenth of a point in the demo, but flat in viewership, compared to last week's event.

The season finale of PROJECT RUNWAY JR. ranked 32nd, with just 1.1 million viewers.
