Donald Trump may be doing badly in the polls at the moment (and in every other way, come to think of it), but don't count him out, if for no other reason than the inexplicable popularity of Fox News.
In fact, Fox News Channel is more popular than ever at the moment and, for the first time EVER, has been the most popular prime time channel for three out of the four weeks in June, taking into account both broadcast and cable channels.
So, what is happening here? Is this confused Republicans looking to see what they should be thinking as Mr. Trump appears to self-destruct? Is this serious beer drinkers at a loss for what to do while their favourite bars are still closed? Is it wary Democrats checking out the opposition?
The two most popular individual shows are those of alt-right pundits and demagogues Sean Hannity and Tucker Carlson. Although both have had their differences with Trump at various times over the years, he is still most definitely their man, and the power of these viewing numbers should not be underestimated.
