Trump Jump: Fox News Hits Record Viewership for President’s First 100 Days

For Fox News, President Trump’s first 100 days back in the White House were a big success — even when compared to his first term.
The ratings make that clear, with Fox News averaging more viewers — both in primetime and over the course of the entire day — during the first 100 days of President Trump’s second term than during the first 100 days following his 2017 inauguration.
In fact, Fox News just enjoyed the highest-rated first 100 days of any presidency in cable news history, surpassing the record it set in ’17.
Here are the key figures: Fox News has averaged 1.90 million viewers Mon-Sun since the president re-entered the White House on Jan. 20, which is up 13% compared to the 1.68 million the channel averaged during his first 100 days in office in ’17.
The channel’s primetime viewership has also increased 9% compared to 2017, going from an average of 2.81 million viewers each night to 3.06 million this year, according to Nielsen audience data.
