Trump, Fox News Clash Over Record-Low Approval Poll

President Donald Trump publicly criticized Rupert Murdoch and Fox News after a network poll reported his approval rating at a record low of 44% just 100 days into his second term, trailing Biden, Obama, and George W. Bush at the same point. Trump also demanded changes at the Wall Street Journal, another Murdoch-owned publication critical of his administration. The Fox News poll, surveying over 1,100 registered voters, indicated that while Trump holds majority approval on border security (55%), his ratings on the economy, foreign policy, tariffs, and inflation are negative. Vice President JD Vance and Elon Musk, head of the Department of Government Efficiency, also received low approval ratings in the poll. Fox News hosts acknowledged the poor numbers on air but suggested potential improvement as Trump's policies are implemented. Representatives for Fox News and News Corp did not respond to requests for comment.
