Limbaugh has claimed that his radio show reaches 20 million listeners, but at least one analyst estimates that perhaps only about 1.4 million listeners are tuning into his show at any given time.<ref>http://www.businessinsider.com/rush-limbaughs-audience-may-be-so-much-smaller-than-you-think-2012-3</ref>

Limbaugh's gig has been described by a conservative publication as "lowbrow conservatism" and a "carny barker."<ref>http://www.theamericanconservative.com/articles/how-radio-wrecks-the-right/</ref>  Talk radio has likely interfered with growth in the conservative movement among young people, and it is difficult to identify a single conservative achievement attributable to Limbaugh.  Since Limbaugh's radio show became associated nationally with the Republican Party about 25 years ago, Republicans have won the popular vote in only one presidential election.
