Oprah Winfrey reportedly does not plan to publicly support Barack Obama in the 2012 US presidential election.
Winfrey supported Obama's campaign in 2008, holding a highly publicised political rally for him during his presidential challenge.
According to a Gallup poll conducted before the rally, Winfrey's favourable ratings fell from 74 to 66% while her unfavourable ratings jumped from 17 to 26%.
Her TV show ratings also fell following the event.
A source has told PopEater that Winfrey doesn't want to do anything to alienate viewers now that she has launched her OWN network.
"For 2012, much has changed for Oprah. She now has her own cable channel called OWN that has been struggling to find an audience - she isn't going to do anything to alienate them," the insider said.
The source added: "Unlike in 2008, when a drop in ratings didn't matter as much for the queen of TV, Oprah is now fighting every day to get people to tune into OWN."
The source continued: "Helping a friend keep the most important job in the world is great, but making sure her OWN network thrives is now her priority."
Judge Judy defeated Oprah in the ratings last season to become the number one daytime TV series.
Earlier this month, Chicago-based Harpo Productions revealed that the final episode of The Oprah Winfrey Show will air on May 25.

It has now been 23 days since my cousin, 18-year-old University of Washington student Marizela Perez, disappeared in the Seattle area.
I wish I could tell you good news.We have had a private investigator on the case the past week. Several leads have been followed. But Marizela is still missing. Our hearts ache for Emem and her parents, Edgar and Jasmin, who have not rested one moment in their efforts to find her. Marizela’s loved ones continue to spread the word and spread her spirit in her South Jersey hometown of Egg Harbor Township, NJ, in her home away from home in Seattle, WA, in her parents’ native homeland in the Philippines, and across our great country where so many friends and volunteers have kept Marizela’s case in the public eye.Marizela’s friend Brianna Price went to school with her in Egg Harbor Township, NJ. Brianna teamed up with Elizabeth (Beth) Janansky and Lydia Chong to make and sell bracelets to support the search for Marizela. They are orange “for Marizela’s favorite color” and include the Tagalog phrase from her tattoo — “lahat ay magiging maayos.” (“All will be well” or “Everything’s going to be okay.”)You can order bracelets for $5 each (all proceeds go to Marizela’s family for the search) from Brianna.E-mail her at dragunsangel-@-aol.com and put “MARIZELA” in the subject line.Brianna writes that Marizela’s South Jersey friends will also be holding a fund-raising event on April 8 at Egg Harbor Township High School’s lower cafeteria where the bracelets will be sold:“I am working alongside the Egg Harbor Township High School’s Drama Club/Thespians Honor Society, Key Club, Art Club, Latin Club, Choir, Dance, and many teachers and graduates to put together a Coffee House performance night. This event is on Friday, April 8th. Doors open at 7:30. Admission is $5.00 and we will be selling wristbands there as well. The link to the event page on facebook is http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=306349&id=613401648&saved#!/event.php?eid=203738876322949.”While we press forward with the investigation and search efforts, please keep the family in your thoughts and prayers.
Thank you so much.I remain confident of this: I will see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living. -Psalm 27:13 Have you seen me
