Last week, the week of May 19, CBS News set a new record low in ratings, taking in a mere 5.33 million viewers. Its previous record low came the week of April 21, where it recorded 5.34 million viewers (the previous week's 5.39 million was also a new low, thus giving the CBS Evening News three weeks of record low ratings this spring).

NBC won both total viewers and the coveted 25-54 demographic. Full ratings appear below.
