Among Total Viewers, “The View” had a 1.3 rating and a 10 share, delivering 3.7 million Total Viewers for the week. The talker is up 4% vs. the prior week, up 29% vs. the same week last year, and is up 17% season to date among total viewers.

In fact, she is slightly more popular than Faux News highest rated show:
