The third presidential debate between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump drew an estimated television audience of 71.6 million.<\/p>\n

That was lower than the audience for their first TV clash, but still the third-highest total ever recorded.<\/p>\n

Their September meeting attracted an audience of 84 million, the largest in the history of US presidential debates.<\/p>\n

The second debate was seen by 66.5 million people in the US, according to the Nielsen ratings agency.<\/p>\n

The agency looked at the number of people who watched Wednesday’s debate on the four main US broadcast networks, as well as nine cable and public television channels.<\/p>\n

It does not include those watching online, through social media or in bars and restaurants.<\/p>\n

The debate, held in Las Vegas and moderated by Fox News’s Chris Wallace, was the final televised clash before the election on 8 November.<\/p>\n

It was marked by Republican candidate Mr Trump refusing to commit to accepting the result of the election if his Democratic rival Mrs Clinton wins.<\/p>\n

During the debate, Mr Trump was mentioned in 3.9 million tweets, while Mrs Clinton was mentioned in 1.9 million, Nielsen said.<\/p>\n

Nielsen started collected TV viewership data in 1976.<\/p>\n

In 1980, a debate between Jimmy Carter and Ronald Reagan, drew 80.6 million viewers – the only previous debate to match this year’s audiences.<\/p>\n

Both debates undertaken by Bill Clinton when he was running for re-election in 1996 against Bob Dole were seen by just over 36 million people.<\/p>\n
