How Big Is The Story Regarding The President Assuring Americans They Could Keep Their Policies? Only One Story This Year Has Been Bigger: The Boston Marathon Bombing

Only one story this year has brought in more prime time viewers on Fox News Channel: the Boston Marathon bombing.

And how is Fox News doing compared to MSNBC and CNN?

Last week, FNC almost doubled the combined viewers of CNN and MSNBC from 8PM to 11PM.

During this time period, FNC averaged 2.1 million total viewers and 376K in the important demographic of folks aged 25 to 54.

MSNBC had 716K and 202K respectively while CNN brought in 433K and 146K.

For the week, only ESPN brought in more cable viewers than FNC in prime time.

And how are his polls doing? The president is now polling his lowest numbers in his presidency, 39% approval.
