It looks like if anything they are climbing. I can't say for sure because seasonal impact may be a factor.
I pulled Wednesday October 7th vs Wednesday May 6th

Gee, thanks, DO! I suppose it is the Republican primary that is propping up the cable numbers. There is plenty of election hype, and it seems to be selling, literally.
Also, it is strange to me that Hillary is getting no headlines anywhere much, and I mean for weeks at a time.
I think she is despised by her own party about as well as the liberal media.
All media energy has been thrown to the Republican election cycle, and actually it hasn’t all been bad coverage. Hillary must be either a bore, or the media expects she may possibly have federal charges to deal with, soon.
