THIS MEANS NOTHING!! America is not engaged right now. They are too busy trying to figure out how to pay the dam bills They don’t know enough about Beck yet. . Besides, I think if you would have looked at Limbaugh’s ratings during the Clinton years they would have been much higher than Beck’s are now. Glenn Beck is more reminiscent of Morton Downey Jr. from the late 80′s early 90′s. But for all the publicity, I don’t consdier Beck or Limbaugh to legitimately be a TRUE conservative. To read a brief history of TRUE conservatism see this article

I think the real reason is that the White House hasn’t actually called out Beck yet… although they’ve “punished” FNC for his comments. As I remember, Limbaugh was called out more frequently by the Democrats in power… they tried to “rally the troops” against him, starting at the top. Beck, on the other hand, has been attacked by a few congress-people, and political activists… but never mentioned by the big guys in the current administration. Therefore, the issue of “disliking Beck” hasn’t become an official White House/Democrat policy… yet.

He also has a smaller audience than Limbaugh, in a time when audiences have a more wide variety of sources to explore. In other words… many reasons why, not a lot of strong assumptions to make.

For what it’s worth, it’s 42% “don’t know name/not sure” and 15% “neutral.”

I think the bigger story is he has higher positive numbers than negative, which is something Rush hasn’t had for more than a dozen years…
