Why Donald Trump’s Approval Rating Drop on Fox News Is Turning Into a Major Warning Sign for Republicans
Fox News delivered a tough moment for Donald Trump after releasing new polling that shows his approval rating slipping to 38 percent the lowest of his second term so far. For a network that usually avoids spotlighting bad news for Republican leadership, this stood out.
According to the report, Trump’s numbers have been declining for months, but this latest drop is sharper than before. Many voters appear frustrated with how he’s handling key issues, especially the cost of living, which remains one of the most searched-for topics across the country.
Political columnist Kim Strassel described the results as a “huge wake-up call.” She noted that while voters initially held out hope that Trump’s economic messaging would pay off, patience is wearing thin. After nine months, she said, “people are looking around and things haven’t improved the way they expected.”
Gas prices have eased slightly in some states, and there are pockets of good economic news, but the broader picture hasn’t convinced voters that Trump is delivering on his promises. Polls show that many Americans don’t feel meaningful relief in their daily expenses.
Strassel warned that Republicans are running out of time with the 2025 midterm elections approaching. If Trump’s approval continues to slide, the party may face an uphill battle.
The segment sparked immediate reaction online. Some viewers dismissed the poll size, saying a small sample can’t represent an entire nation. Others joked that the number had been even lower days earlier, arguing that 38 percent was technically “an improvement.”
Despite the dip, Trump still insists publicly that he’s soaring in the polls. On Truth Social, he recently claimed to have “the highest poll numbers” of his political career and predicted that the economy will soon top the list of his successes.
His post ended with a familiar promise: “Make America Great Again.”
