Oprah Winfrey reportedly does not plan to publicly support Barack Obama in the 2012 US presidential election.
Winfrey supported Obama's campaign in 2008, holding a highly publicized political rally for him during his presidential challenge.
According to a Gallup poll conducted before the rally, Winfrey's favorable ratings fell from 74 to 66% while her unfavorable ratings jumped from 17 to 26%.
Her TV show ratings also fell following the event.
A source has told PopEater that Winfrey doesn't want to do anything to alienate viewers now that she has launched her OWN network.
"For 2012, much has changed for Oprah. She now has her own cable channel called OWN that has been struggling to find an audience - she isn't going to do anything to alienate them," the insider said.
Earlier this month, Chicago-based Harpo Productions revealed that the final episode of The Oprah Winfrey Show will air on May 25.

Too late, Oprah. I’m not an Oprah watcher, but I always thought she was a fairly decent person.
No more.
Same here.
Sorry, Oprah, but it’s too late to un-alienate viewers just because you got your “OWN” channel and would like to not harm your bottom line. She should have thought of the alienation factor before she used her influence to support this heaping, steaming pile of garbage.
What a bunch of envious, evil hypocrites the Left is.
Cash trumps race.
Oprah should do us all a favor and offer to give Obama a show.
Then the liberals can worship their messiah and he can no longer hurt the country.
Next to Harpo Winfrey, Michelle Obama looks positively svelt.
Hopra looked better in WhoopieCushion’s movie - with one eye put out.
OWN stands for “Obama’s Worthless Network”. Orca pretty much did an Andy Katz (of obama’s NCAA brackets show)....drool over him.
It’s too late now when you act like a two-cent whore in front of the nation and she should have known back then her actions would have repercussions. F888 her and her messiah.
She’s an unrepentant racist anyway, so who cares? I’m glad that she’s getting off regular TV. Can’t wait for her to re-distribute her vast wealth on someone other than her lesbian partner or her supposed “boyfriend” Whathisname . . . like maybe the poor people . . . y’know?
A lot of clueless young people were influenced by these rallies.
Oprah goes on a bloat and slim cycle every couple years.
It’s all about hyping diet deals and making money.
Then again some of her famous magazine covers were her head photoshopped on some hottie’s body, LOL.
*ALL* of her *values* went to Hell with her support of the Marxist.
She knew what he was way ahead of time and still supports him. *Chicago*
DONE with Oprah. Forever.
True, but let's face it, how many persons under 30 would have voted for McCain anyway? Of course now most all of them are un or under employed.
Thanks
Well, that settles it. If Oprah won’t support him neither will I.
