Jake Tapper’s CNN Show Hits Lowest Ratings Since 2015 Despite Biden Book Buzz

  • CNN host Jake Tapper experienced his lowest-rated month since August 2015 during May 2025 despite releasing a new book.
  • This drop followed the May release of Tapper and Alex Thompson's book accusing the Biden White House of concealing the president's declining fitness for office.
  • Despite extensive promotion on CNN and Tapper’s nationwide book tour, his program drew an average audience of just over half a million viewers between late April and late May, representing a 25% decline from the same timeframe the previous year.
  • During the measured period, Tapper’s show attracted just over a tenth of the cable news viewership, while Fox News dominated with more than two-thirds of the audience and MSNBC secured just over one-fifth; additionally, CNN experienced its second-lowest demographic ratings month in May.
  • The ratings decline suggests that the book's spotlight did not boost viewership, and Tapper acknowledged he underreported Biden's age issues, calling the cover-up possibly worse than Watergate.
