Oprah to Obama -- You're Bringin' Me Down

[Midnight Mike]

A poll taken in February of last year, prior to the Big O's decision to back her home state Senator, found that 74% of Americans had a favorable view of the talk show queen. Another poll taken several months after her endorsement, show Oprah's rating to have plunged to 61%.

Oprah's big give indeed.

The big kicker was last month's AOL poll that revealed that 46% of Americans found Ellen to be the daytime host who "made their day" over Oprah's measly 19%. The same poll found 47% wanted to break bread with Ellen while only 14% wanted to dine with Oprah. And Oprah's got all those fancy chefs working for her!

Good thing Oprah's got gal-pal Gayle to share a tub of ice cream with...

If O supported Hillary that poll would have come out a lot lower than 61%.

I think that's a risk when any non-political celebrity begins talking about any politician.
