Trump Criticizes Fox News Polling Amid Record Low Approval Ratings

President Donald Trump publicly criticized Fox News and the Wall Street Journal after Fox aired a poll showing low approval ratings for his economic policies, particularly on inflation and tariffs. Trump accused Fox's pollster of bias and called on Rupert Murdoch, owner of both outlets, to make staffing changes, labeling the Wall Street Journal as 'China Loving.' The Fox News poll indicated that 82% of Americans are highly concerned about inflation and only 44% approve of Trump's job performance, marking a significant drop compared to previous presidents at the same point in office. Additional polls, including Reuters/Ipsos and Gallup, have similarly shown declining public confidence in Trump's economic leadership. Fox News hosts and commentators acknowledged that voters are skeptical of Trump's tariff strategy and that small businesses are experiencing anxiety due to ongoing trade uncertainty. This episode highlights growing tensions between Trump and traditionally supportive conservative media as public discontent with his economic agenda mounts.
