No.
Drudge had 658 million visits in the last 31 days.
9.13 billion visits in the last year.
If your number for July 2016 (1.47 billion views) is correct, that means Drudge has lost about half his audience in the last 5 years.
Actually, July 2016 was just about the point in time when I gave up on Drudge.
Before that, Drudge had been my FIRST stop on the Web every day since the late 1990s.
I seriously question any numbers for a site that auto-refreshes every 30 seconds.
And I honestly doubt that liberals are flocking to the site to make up for the loss of conservatives. In their mind, Drudge still has the stain…
#55 I think he reloads a page and counts that as a view.
Fake numbers. Think of the numbers. No way this many views his site. His advertisers are getting ripped off.

Sorry but your number for Drudges visits in the last month seems to be way off as per the article cited in this thread and this source:
