Brand Index reported:
Since the first GOP presidential debate last August, Fox News Channel seems to have lost its perception mojo with its core right-leaning audience.
By mid February, FNCs perception by Republican adults 18 and over had reached its lowest point in more than three years, and has declined by approximately 50% since January of this year.
Coinciding with Trumps rise to front-runner in the GOP presidential race, Fox News Channel has seen its perception by Republicans slide. In early August 2015, right after the first GOP debate aired on Fox News Channel,Trump went on a Twitter war with moderator Megyn Kelly, saying she bombed and calling her a lightweight reporter.
The picture hasnt been rosy in terms of the general population either: since last May, Fox News Channels perception levels with adults 18+ have uncharacteristically been drawing significantly more negative feedback than positive. At this point, both FNC and CNN are scoring at similar perception levels and they are both negative.

Just saw them with BREAKING NEWS break in for Rubio to BLAST Trump, we won’t let a con artist run our party!!!! I am DONE with fox BREAKING NEWS REALLY!!!!!! just switched to CNN!!!! I have been an AVID Fox watcher I mean 24/7 NO MORE!!!!
One America news and NEWSMAX is hwere I go now...Kelly and Co. have ruined FOX...
BOY...do I agree....DUMP Megan Kelly. She calls herself a journalist but she is anything but that. I hope against hope that Fox gets rid of her....and I know the odds!
We have cable but don’t watch Fox News or most other channels for news. We will watch the local news to keep up on local happenings and how many got shot last night in Milwaukee.
The Internet is my news feed. Plus I listen to Hannity & Levin on the radio while reloading shotgun shells, which is twice weekly.
You mean the 'Conservative' who threw in with Rubio??? Conservatives do not support amnesty, encourage terrorists to relocate into our country, America destroying TPP...You need to give that Conservative moniker back to the people who it rightly belongs to...
Brit Hume’s the problem... it’s GOPe wall-to-wall mixed with liberal democrats thrown in for insult... it’s not our FoxNews anymore. FOX has decided to stand with the elites... a group so small they couldn’t elect a dog catcher without us....
Hannity, Waters, Tucker and Miller might be the only conservatives left at Fox...
I’m amazed FOXNews is throwing away their audience .. . “ya gotta dance with the one that brung ya”... or at least not give her the finger. What’s happening Brit?
Boycott Fox, send Murdoch and his evil sons packing back to Oz, where he came from! Murdoch take MGYN with you to Oz.
That has been going on for about a month. They had Christie coverage even when he was sinking propping him up with his campaign that was “ turning around” LOL. After NH when, when Cruz almost tied with Kasich but came in third Fox completely ignored him. they covered the top two of both GOP and then DEM , and then went to the second tier. Even Cruz call FOX because he (Cruz) performed extremely well and wasn’t mentioned. But if he makes a mistake it becomes the lead story.
I stopped watching when every one of their pundits jumped on the amnesty express. Years ago.
I'd post a picture from Primer Impacto but they seem to have a thing with Getty. Now that's a sound off show. Don't actually listen because it sounds like grim reaper day at a chicken farm in Central Pennsylvania.
The way Kelly is going, her next haircut will be a buzzcut.
No doubt fox is going to go nuts this weekend doing everything it can to dis Trump before Tuesday just like some of the posters on FR...
It's not the money they're after...It's the agenda they're pushing...The New World Order...
I still like the Five, O’Reily and Hannity, Jesse Watters, Dennis Miller. I can even live with Bret Baer from 6:00 pm to 6:15 pm when all the important news is over with.
The liberals and progressives that participate on Fox are largely 3rd tier personalities as the progressives have been trying to de-legitimize Fox by refusing to fully participate.
The round table at Fox is a joke. Krauthammer is on everyday spewing the same old same old but on a different hosts show. At least his smarter than George Will. The times when Newt Gingrich show up are usually excellent, but there are times he sings off key too.
Megyn Kelly thinks she is bigger than Fox, and that’s a big problem for Fox. I expect a big blowout later this year about Megyn by some Fox insiders, complete with salacious and titillating gossip.
Once the GOPe goes into survival mode and gets behind Trump, Megyn is done.
That would be true but even if HANNITY leans TRUMP, the boys upstairs seem to require ANTI-Trump guests by the numbers to counter TRUMP, 24/7.
No wonder the rubes despise TRUMP. FOX rules their reason.
FOX, Cruz and Rubio are well connected to the Cheap Labor Express, and the cable company intends to push Rubio and that CLE agenda, particularly in prime time, through the hate-TRUMP guests and the Brett and Megyn programming.
Didn’t know any conservatives were still watching the FOX rag.
CNN and especially MSNBC, since last June, have been neutral on the Republican primary candidates and it has been a relief. They will surely change, once we have a nominee, but since last summer they have never been invested in taking down Donald TRUMP, or any other Republican candidate.
Being in NYC, Donald has made himself available and called in or made appearances on all the shows. An open invitation has been there, but no other Republican used them, or responded.
I have recorded every day; Morning Joe, Jake Tapper and MTP Daily, on MNBC. On CNN, I record Wolfie Blitzer, and in the evening I check in with Anderson Cooper.
None of these have hated TRUMP and I’ve been privy to news and opinions FOX would despise. Too damn bad. They are Establishment now.
Neither is the commie/contra pope, anonymous, and those below.
Your abusive bulling/gaslighting is not working with us.
I think FOXNews wants to be accepted by the cool kids - liberal elties.
Fools.
You’re being conned by Trump.
LOL - wonderful Grampa
Good. Along with talk radio, they have been the main thing beguiling conservatives to stay on the Republican plantation. Just a little while longer, to do more from within, hold your nose, just get the House, just get the Senate, better than the alternative.
While we frogs have been slowly simmered by the GOP, it is Fox and conservative radio, ezines and blogs that kept telling us to be patient and not jump. Distracting us while our houses were plundered.
