America's two most popular TV hosts: Oprah and Glenn Beck

There are a couple of things worth noting here I think. Number one, this is an enormously mainstream list, meaning Beck has managed to launch himself out of the political fringe and into the mainstream consciousness. I speculated back in November that between his focus on books, and his 9/12 movement, and his re-founding Beck was positioning himself as the next Oprah, and it looks like the country may agree! Further proof: according to the breakdown “Glenn Beck is the favorite for both Republicans and for Conservatives, but, interestingly, also for Independents. Oprah Winfrey is number one for Democrats and Moderates, while Jon Stewart is the favorite for Liberals.”
