Election Results Give CNN.com Michael Jackson-Level Traffic

CNN.com posted some pretty good traffic numbers last night,
thanks to the midterm elections. How good? Like Michael Jackson dying good.  The news site posted its best traffic numbers
since the King of Pop’s memorial service, way back in July of last year.

The site pulled in 80 million page views–10 percent higher than what
it pulled in when news of the trapped Chilean miners first broke. The site also
saw a 400 percent increase in video plays over the week before.  Mobile views were up around 30 percent.

Political indifference? Apparently not–at least when it
comes to reloading the online coverage from a cable news network. Actually
getting people out to the polls is another topic altogether, however.
