Sean Hannity may have become the target for some critics in conservative media circles, but his ratings have rarely been better.
According to October Nielsen Media Group ratings, the longtime Fox News host's show "Hannity" had the largest ratings boost of any Fox News show all month, jumping 65% in total viewers from the previous month.
October was also one of Hannity's best month in years. According to Nilsen, the show's ratings were up 53% this month compared to the October 2013, when the show moved to the generally less-watched 10 p.m. timeslot.
Hannity's program also topped hosts Megyn Kelly and Bill O'Reilly on several evenings during the month, including shows on October 28, October 26, and October 25. In 2013, "Hannity" was bumped from 9 p.m. to 10 p.m., while Kelly took over his old time slot.
Hannity's ratings boost coincides with rising ratings overall for cable news networks as interest in the 2016 election has heated up, but also comes at an interesting moment for the longtime political commentator.
The television and radio host has emerged as one of the most high-profile boosters of Donald Trump, while the real-estate mogul has sparred repeatedly with other hosts at the network including Kelly and even occasionally with O'Reilly.
Hannity played a significant role in beating the drum for Trump, even if it occasionally raised eyebrows and garnered criticism from both sides.

I also feel Bannon/Breibart has plans for the first of the year. Eric or Don Jr. Trump may even be the one to finance. So many have had their eyes open this past year. The stench has been overpowering as of late.
Speaking of Chris Stirewalt.....makes me sick to even look at his smirky smile, let alone listen to him. I always call him MeAgain’s waterboy.
Megyn claimed that her show is #1 in all cable news. That's an outright LIE! From the evidence I've seen, Sean has been beating her in the ratings for most of this campaign season.
If you're on Twitter or Facebook (I'm on neither), *please* send her a message re: this LIE that she's #1.
Thank you.
Sean’s final plea to voters tonight was magnificent! Hope everybody caught it...
You can tell when she is lying, her lips are moving.
You can watch Hannity’s show from tonight here.(again)

She cancelled her floating Hudson River fireworks display that was set to light off and air tomorrow at 9:30 EST, well before the rest of the nation’s polls close.
Fox Business Network is claiming a lot of new followers with Dobbs, Varney, Payne and more good fill ins.
Me-again isn’t even first in her time slot. Maddow has been beating her regularly.
Back when he said...the media wasn't / isn't biased..is about when I knew he was stupid.
I know. I almost fell over when she uttered that LIE. Then she shilled her new book (of course) for the umpteenth time. BARF!
She's in for a rude awakening. That book will end up on bargain shelves in overstock/overrun bargain retailers (like Ocean State Job Lot here in the northeast) months from now.
Sean’s first segment was the most passionate yet detailed reasoning on why to vote Trump tomorrow. He nailed us all to the wall with each salient point and what our risks as a nation and as individuals are. He was on fire. It was a must see, sadly also a must see for everyone who never turns on his show. Tweet it out if possible.
I remember driving 5 hours on the way back from NoCal and catching his show, soon after my father died, in March. He was that day starting to admit some pro-Trump, while giving the other candidates fair coverage. I thought he did a marvelous job of being himself, providing commentary, but honestly letting a tiny bit of his own preference show.
It’s a risk because you could lose listeners who don’t agree, but it was starting to become clear that we had a GOPe and someone who wasn’t part of that cabal. In fact, since then, I believe everyone including Sean has been shocked, especially from the revealed emails, at the levels of depravity and collusion and corruption this oligarchy has reached.
He says after tomorrow, Wednesday, he will be revealing something about how to fight the propaganda media. I’m in.
Gd bless Sean Hannity for the fight, for the hard work, for the painstakingly careful explanations to all sorts of voters. He is the only one with 4 hours a day, one on Tv, of getting the word out to the American people. He has had this opportunity, he took a career risk this year as a patriot, AND IT HAS BROUGHT HIM SUCCESS. I’m grateful.
Stay true to yourself, Sean. With a win tomorrow night, some credit goes to you. Trump damn well BETTER invite you to hang at one of his golf courses. ;)
Management at Fox wants Trump defeated, once that is done Fox thinks they can go back to pretending to lean right. They figure they will regain their audience once the election is over. We see how that works out for Fox. To me this is a defining election, if you are not for Trump you are defacto for Hillary. If you are for Hillary you are not a conservative and you are not a patriotic American.
