Fox News is still bringing in significant viewership ratings, but a new report suggests that the network is losing favor among their conservative audience.

Advertising Age released a study on Thursday, indicating that Fox is now ranked 50th among the brands most favored by Republicans. This comes as a 35 rank drop from 2015, when the network was ranked at 15 on the YouGov BrandIndex ranking.

Between the ouster of Roger Ailes and various shake-ups in the Fox administration, the news agency has been facing a tumultuous period over the last several weeks. This has also been compounded by drama and scuffles among the network’s current and former staff.

Despite the decline, Fox still greatly outclasses CNN’s rank of 1,470, and MSNBC at 1,471.

1. But just wait - TrumpTV...it's going to Yuuuuuge.

A tremendous source of real truth that will be bigly successful.

2. It took this long for R viewers to lose favor with all their lies?

This long? Really?

I guess, better late than never.

3. I wonder though how much of it is that and how much is it an issue of their older viewers

getting older and simply dying and not being appealing to a younger demographic?

4. Fox viewers are old and then they die = loss of ranking

When HRC becomes POTUS expect a culling of the heard because of "head and heart 'xplosions."

5. Faux isn't crazy enough anymore

The Repubs need some harder shit. They're moving on to Breitbart and Infowars.
