NewsMax Poll: Don’t Bring Rosie Back to TV
An Internet poll sponsored by NewsMax.com reveals that by an overwhelming margin, Americans do not want Rosie O’Donnell back on the air with a national TV show.
What’s more, three-quarters say they would go so far as to boycott major advertisers of any new Rosie show.
O’Donnell left ABC’s “The View” amid controversy in late May. There had been talk she wanted to become the next host of “The Price Is Right,” but she announced in late June that she would not get the job. According to our poll, that outcome bodes well for the future of the game show.
Close to 100,000 Americans voted in the NewsMax poll. NewsMax will provide the results of this poll to major media and share them with radio talk-show hosts across the country.
Here are the poll questions and results:
1) Should the big networks give Rosie a national TV show?
Yes: 11 percent
No: 89 percent
2) What is your overall opinion of Rosie?
Favorable: 8 percent
Unfavorable: 90 percent
No opinion: 2 percent
3) Do you believe Rosie is engaging in a publicity stunt when she says the 9/11 attacks were staged by the U.S. government?
Publicity stunt: 36 percent
Really believes: 64 percent
4) Are you more or less likely to watch “The Price Is Right” if Rosie is the host?
More likely: 8 percent
Less likely: 92 percent
5) How would you view CBS replacing Katie Couric on the evening news with Rosie O’Donnell?
Favorably: 9 percent
Unfavorably: 91 percent
5) Would you boycott major advertisers of any new Rosie show?
Boycott: 75 percent
No, not boycott: 25 percent
