As Variety has reported, Fox News on many nights draws a bigger live audience than one or more broadcast TV networks.

However, its viewership is, like those of MS NOW and CNN, has been steadily eroding: In the third quarter of 2026, Fox News saw its total-day viewership decline 16%, and its viewership in the 25-54 demo fall 24%. Both CNN and MS NOW saw small gains in overall audience for Q3.

Variety has reached out to Fox News for comment. In primetime, Fox News averaged about 2 million total viewers (down 28% year over year) in October, with viewers in the 25-54 demo falling 36% to 183,000.

“Fox & Friends” had its second consecutive month below 1 million total viewers and under 100,000 in the key demo, with October representing its lower overall viewers since July 2015 (and its lowest in the 25-54 demographic since June 2001). Meanwhile, progressive rival MS NOW saw its daytime audience in October rise 16% to 588,000 total viewers, and CNN viewership was up 3% to 402,000 viewers over the same timeframe.

Some observers detect a worrisome sign in Fox News’ ratings decline that conservatives are tuning out at rates faster than CNN or MS NOW as the fight for control of the Senate and House of Representatives will be up for grabs on Election Day next week, Nov. President Donald Trump — whose feelings about Fox News run hot and cold — recently complained that the network has not been backing Republicans strongly enough.

“Fox spends more time defending Dumocrats, and putting on their views versus their Republican opponent, than at any time in the History of FoxNews,” Trump wrote in an Oct. 19 post on Truth Social.
