More Democrats are watching Fox News than liberal outlets like CNN or MSNBC, as execs at the company have boasted of big-name advertisers flocking to the network.

According to Nielsen MRI Fusion data seen by DailyMail.com, Fox News is the number one cable news network for both Democrats and independents.

The statistics, taken from January of this year, show the outlet performs better than CNN and MSNBC in the 18 and over demographic.

Total primetime viewers for the network totaled 427,000 for Democratic voters, CNN reached only 174,000 Dems, while MSNBC hit 255,000.

In the same data bracket for independents, or those with no party affiliation, the network again was way out in front, raking in 709,000 viewers.

CNN managed to rake in only 117,000 independent viewers, while MSNBC took in 155,000, according to the data.

In the highly sought after 25 to 54 demographic, Fox again is out in front before the two, bringing in 54,000 Democratic voters during primetime hours.

CNN managed only 34,000 of those in the same Demographic, while MSNBC managed a meager 18,000.

The new data comes after Jeff Collins, President of Advertising Sales at the company, told Puck that advertisers are now swarming the brand due to their record audience share.

Collins told the outlet of their new reach amongst Democrats and independents, saying: 'There’s a narrative that Fox News does a great job reaching Middle America, but the data shows that it’s actually the entire country.'

Collins said that the Fox audience has always been more diverse, whether that be politically or demographically than their critics want to admit.
