On Wednesday, Fox ‘News’ released a poll on the guy they helped put in office and it is not pretty. Affordability and the economy are two areas that Trump has failed bigly. Voters also oppose Trump’s stupid war with Iran; yet, the (below) average Fox ‘News’ viewer ‘thinks’ the US is actually winning the war. 🙄 All in all, the poll found that 39% of Americans approve of Trump’s overall job performance, while he received a record-high 61% disapproval.
“Despite consistently strong GOP support, the president’s numbers are leaking a bit,” said Republican pollster Daron Shaw, who conducts the Fox News poll. “Make no mistake; it’s all about affordability. Independents jumped ship in 2025, and now non-MAGA Republicans and other core constituencies are wavering.”
Affordability/the Cost of Living, the Economy, Gas Prices, Etc..
- 58% of those polled say it is the cost of living is their top economic worry, up 8 percentage points since February.
- Rising gas prices amid the war in Iran, with 86% framing them as a problem and 96% seeing them as a problem for the broader economy, per the survey.
- 77% of respondents believe the economy is in bad shape.
- Inflation: 51% of Republicans disapprove of his performance.
In Summary:
- Border security: 49% approval / 51% disapproval
- Foreign policy: 38% approval / 62% disapproval
- The economy: 29% approval / 71% disapproval
- Inflation: 24% approval / 76% disapproval
