Only Hayes&#8217;s MSNBC colleague Lawrence O&#8217;Donnell scored higher (48 percent) in terms of national obscurity. Just 19 percent of Americans had a favorable opinion of Hayes, compared with 18 percent for O&#8217;Donnell.<\/p>\n<p>CNN&#8217;s Anderson Cooper was the most recognizable primetime host\u2014just 13 percent of poll respondents had never heard of him. CNN&#8217;s Chris Cuomo, along with Tucker Carlson and Sean Hannity of Fox News, was also recognized by about three-quarters of Americans, according to the poll. Cuomo, however, was the only media personality to score a negative favorability rating, with 30 percent of respondents expressing a negative opinion about the CNN host.<\/p>\n<p>The results should come as no surprise. Hayes is one of the lowest-rated primetime hosts on television. His 8 p.m. time slot on MSNBC puts him in competition with both Cooper on CNN and Carlson on Fox News. Last week, <em>All In with Chris Hayes<\/em> averaged just 164,000 viewers in the coveted 25-54 age demographic, compared with Cooper&#8217;s 233,000 viewers and Carlson&#8217;s 474,000 viewers.<\/p>\n<p>Hayes is best known, so to speak, for having conventional left-wing views and for expressing those views in a public forum, whether on television or on Twitter, the popular social networking website. He was criticized in 2012 for saying he was &#8220;uncomfortable&#8221; with the idea of calling American soldiers &#8220;heroes&#8221; and has a history of making inflammatory comments on his low-rated TV program.<\/p>\n<p>In March 2020, Hayes declared that black Americans are <a href=\"https:\/\/freebeacon.com\/issues\/chris-hayes-black-voters-cant-join-gop-because-of-structural-white-supremacy\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">not allowed<\/a> to join the Republican Party due to &#8220;structural white supremacy.&#8221; In December, he <a href=\"https:\/\/freebeacon.com\/satire\/donald-trump-war-on-christmas\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">attacked<\/a> then-senator Lamar Alexander (R., Tenn.) for playing Christmas songs on a piano in a Senate office building.
