OUCH! Fox News Viewers Get An Uncomfortable Truth About Trump On Live TV

The right-wing network is usually a safe space for the president's fans.
President Donald Trump’s approval rating is sinking ― and not even Fox News can spin it.
The right-wing network, which is usually a safe space for the MAGA faithful, on Wednesday shared its latest poll numbers, which show the president’s approval rating is now far behind every other 21st-century president at a similar point.
Trump’s approval rating is 44% at almost 100 days in office, compared with 54% for Joe Biden, 62% for Barack Obama and 63% for George W. Bush at the same point.
He’s even behind himself: Trump’s approval rating was 45% at the 100-day mark of his previous term in office.
The poll is driven in part by economic issues, which had been Trump’s strong spot during his first term. But right now, just 38% approve of how he is handling the economy, versus 56% who disapprove. He’s also deep underwater on inflation (33% approve, 59% disapprove) and tariffs (33% approve, 58% disapprove), according to the poll.
