Tucker Carlson again just edged out The Five as the top-rated show on cable news.

Carlson brought in 3.25 million total viewers on Monday, while The Five scored 3.23 million total viewers. The Five has reigned in recent months as the top-rated show on cable, but Carlson has offered stiff competition for the crown lately.

In the key 25-54 age demographic, Carlson topped the charts with 435,000 viewers. The Five came in second with 338,000 demo viewers.

MSNBC also had a strong day: Rachel Maddow managed to overtake Sean Hannity in total viewers and the demo at 9 p.m., a rare feat.

Here is a full breakdown of Monday’s cable news ratings by show:
