Poll: 46% think Fox News should cancel O'Reilly, 22% say they should keep him on the air

Nearly half (46 percent) of those polled think Fox News should cancel the show, compared to just 22 percent who say the network should keep it on the air. A Morning Consult poll conducted earlier this month showed over a third (41 percent) of people said Fox News should cancel “The O’Reilly Factor.”

Those figures have risen even among self-described viewers of the show, with 23 percent of them saying it should be canceled, up from 19 percent April 6-9. And fewer people admit to watching the show compared to that earlier polling: Among all respondents, there was a 6-point drop in people who said they watch “The O’Reilly Factor.”
