Fox News swept the ratings during its coverage of the presidential election, drawing 14 million viewers, topping its cable news rivals as well as the "Big Three" networks.

According to Nielsen, Tuesday night's live election coverage attracted 56.9 million viewers across 21 broadcast and cable networks between 8-11 p.m. MSNBC was fourth in the category with 2.4 million, followed by ABC with 2.3 million, CBS with 1.66 million and FOX-TV with 1.6 million.

Unexpectedly, Republicans also unexpectedly won seats in the Democrat-controlled House, while the GOP appears to be on track to retain its majority in the Senate, results that many political experts and pollsters did not predict.

The 2016 overall figure represented an increase from the 2012 night, which drew 66.8 million viewers.

In terms of the key news demographic of people aged 25-54, Fox News is again top of the pile but with a more slender lead.

Fox News drew 4.9 million viewers, CNN drew 4.4 million, NBC News took in 2.5 million, MSNBC drew 2.3 million, ABC News nabbed 2.28 million, Fox drew 1.68 million and CBS placed last with 1.66 million.

Almost 57 million Americans tuned in to watch coverage of a presidential election that still has yet to produce a victor.

Because the outlet famous, the numbers present cable information' dominance on tv in comparison with 4 years in the past, when NBC recorded the best variety of viewers with 12.1 million.
