There are still two months before America will elect its next president, but the country has already chosen the Democrats as the party it's more interested in watching.

The Democratic National Convention in Charlotte, N.C., is still underway, but early ratings reports show that more viewers are tuning in to see President Barack Obama's supporters than the GOP's festivities.

First Lady Michelle Obama's highly praised speech on Tuesday drew approximately 26.2 million viewers, according to the Associated Press. That's a significantly higher number than the 22.3 million people who watched Ann Romney's address in Tampa, Fla., last week.

The first lady is also the champ - so far, at least - of convention-related tweets. At its peak, her speech drew 28,003 tweets per minute. That's far more than the 14,289 tweets per minute about Mitt Romney's acceptance speech last week, and even more than the 22,087 tweets per minute during former President Bill Clinton's 48-minute long speech last night.

The success of Michelle Obama's DNC address creates high expectations for her husband's speech, which will close out the convention on Thursday.

President Obama's speech was originally planned to be an outdoor spectacle, scheduled to take place in the open-air Bank of America Stadium in front of 65,000 spectators. But weather forecasts predicting lightning have forced DNC organizers to move his speech to the indoor, 20,000-capacity Time Warner Cable Arena.
