Numbers mean nothing if not put in to some sort of context.

Based on his rating, Rush gets between 14-30 millions listeners per show.
Last US population numbers say he have appx 300 millions people in the US today.

Which means at best, only 10% of America listens to what he says on a regular basis.

And out of those 300 plus million not all are of voting age. So it’s lower than 10%. Even if they go a 100% election turn-out it would translate into nothing nothing even remotely relevant.

Another factor is that Glenn Beck spends a good part of his time ranting against the GOP. This makes the Glenn Beck demographics a minority within a minority within the context of the GOP.
