Sean Hannity ratings plummet after Obama election victory

The reason Hannity's ratings have gone down is that the true believers who really thought that a poorly performing president would fail, if only the spotlight were kept on him and his feet held to the fire, were indeed stunned by Obama's win. But they don't blame Sean for trying to show Obama, warts and all. They have just been in such deep shock that the only way to recover from the feeling of nausea accompanying our Statist president's reelection is to tune out the news for awhile--all news, not just Sean. Not just O'Reilly. His audience will come back over time, once we have all recovered. We still have to fight the good fight. We shall gradually return to going to Tea Party meetings, etc. Keep in mind, even in the face of a media onslaught to demonize Constitutional conservatives, Obama only won 51% of the vote. And many just voted for him, rather than be accused of racism. But there are many Republicans coming up the ranks for future elections who are both ethnic and believe in smaller government and more freedom. The future will be an interesting place to travel.

Recent Univ. survey shows those who listened to Fox were 18pc more likely to be dis-informed about world events than those who did not listen to any news Hannity has taken over from O'Reilly as chief attack dog

A shame that a good Irish name like Sean Hannity is wasted on such a moron.

Now that the fiscal cliff turned out to be and entirely trumped up crisis to get people to pay higher taxes it seems so dishonest. 77% of all American will be paying higher taxes while Warren Buffet and the ultra wealthy got a tax break and will pay less. This president is becoming so transparent, the stimulus....the sky is falling, the omnibus spending bill the sky is falling,the bank bailouts..the sky is falling, insurance bailouts.. sky is falling the fiscal cliff the sky is falling. The only people that still fall for these blatant lies are the democrats and their spend at any cost agenda. Now that we have seen the fiscal cliff we find out it is a spending bill with more bogus stimulus money and actually increases the debt and deficit. What a shame.

kaydog1 How do you think we arrived at this fiscal cliff? The factual "charted" truth is that during the previous administration (Bush 2) our country's debt rose by 5 Trillion dollars. During his father's administration (Bush/Reagan) the debt increased by 3 trillion dollars. All previous presidents including: Eisenhower, Kennedy, Nixon, Ford and Carter kept the existing debt below 2 Trillion. What did you think... Obama was going to arrive in the Oval office in the middle of the greatest financial crash since 1929, click his fingers, and the mountain of accruing debt would vanish? Both the Clinton and Obama presidency's were left the task of cleaning the massive debt created by GOP presidents.Your statemented about "destabilize the country" is pointed at the wrong party and a simple google search will confirm it.

Hannity and O'Reilly; a pair of right wing bluff merchants! For the benefit of the Republicans amongst us: tough! YOU LOST! Not only did you lose, you were routed! Now, the future for Republicans is bleak; the Black and Hispanic citizens have discovered the power of the ballot; in their hands lies the power. What has the GOP to offer them? Zilch! So, you can cry in your porage and snipe all you like at President Obama; you know him; he's the one with the cajones and the gift of fiery speech. Don't make any plans for change in 2016; your politics are passe. Tog go bog e.

McNamara31, Pres Obama never passed a "first budget", or any other budget. And did you notice, that the Bill trotted out by the Senate to avoid the "Fiscal Cliff" was offered with only 3 minutes for Senators to read the 1504 pages? It was concocted by the Democrats, contains 60 billion $ in tax increases, and 74 Billion Dollars (US$) in tax exemptions for Democrat special interests. It's almost as if the Democrats were TRYING to destabilize the country.

TomSwinford.. Thanks Tom, I really can't take the "soul-less" Sean Hannity. I think he is a disgrace to all things Irish.

MegK311 ....Did you know that $5 Trillion dollars of debt, was already projected to occur in August of 2009, based on the economic "conditions created by and policies enacted by President Bush", this projection was issued by the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) well before President Obama's first budget became law? That's another little fact you will never hear on FOX.

peterson... Did you know, Bush took 977 days, or 32% of his total time in office, was spent on vacations. Hawaii is Obama's home. People go home for Christmas. Tell me, did you complain when the prior president took 977 days off while accumulating 5 trillion in debt with two unpaid wars and by the end of his term, was loosing 700,000 American jobs a month?

Obama's popularity is really slipping now. That is what happens when illegals are allowed to vote -- they are the ones that voted him back !! In the meantime, the Obamas are enjoying a three million dollar vacation in Hawaii !!

I don't want to follow Obama as he gets us deeper in debt every day. Look what the Democrats have done to California many cities are bankrupt and the whole state is heading in that direction followed by the rest of the country. California used to be a very attractive state to live in. Now people and businesses are leaving. Our taxes are the highest in the country. People have lost their homes and businesses that have been here for years have closed down. The unemplyment rate is much higher than other parts of the country. A member of my family has been out of work for over 4 years. So if you want to follow Obama and the direction he is going in then use California as an example of what is to come. The states that are doing well are run by Republicans. The trouble with the main line news media is if the news doesn't fit their liberal views then they don't report it. So most of you are getting 1/2 the news and the distorted truth. Hannity doesn't misinform his audience thats what the liberal media does.

McNamara31, excellent commentary. My compliments.

Madeliene How would any Fox viewer "recognize the truth" when they have been fed misrepresentations and only the stories that support the Fox narrative? If a mother teaches her child the world is flat, the child only learns when they are given true facts from another source and become informed. You do not get facts or information from FOX, they feed bias and nothing more. If you don't like CNN try ABC,NBC,CBS, BBC,EURONEWS,RTE or possibly PBS for a week and get an informed viewpoint that comes from several sources rather than one despicable News Organization..

NOTrue Americans still want the TRUTH, and CNN does NOT give it, libs dod not listen to him anyway him anywayIrsh Cnrl waay 2 liberal!
