Is Fox News the new liberal media? Seems like it.
President Trump is nearing the 100-day mark of his historic second term, and the liberal media is already trying to shape the narrative. A new Fox News poll—conducted April 18–21 among 1,104 registered voters—claims Trump’s approval rating has dropped to 44%, with 55% disapproval. But conservative Americans aren’t falling for it.
This so-called decline, down from 49% in March, is being used to compare Trump unfavorably to his predecessors. George W. Bush, Barack Obama, and Joe Biden supposedly had higher approval ratings at this stage in their presidencies.
Blaming Trump for the Economy? The Media Is Twisting the Facts
Voters polled expressed concern about the economy—specifically inflation, tariffs, and overall performance. But let’s be honest: the economic pain many Americans feel today is a direct result of the reckless spending and failed policies of the Biden era.
Still, 71% say the economy is poor, and 55% say it’s getting worse for their families. The liberal media wants to pin that on Trump—but the American people know better.
President Trump Responds: “Fake Polls from Fake Pollsters”
President Trump didn’t stay silent. Taking to Truth Social, he blasted Rupert Murdoch and Fox News for continuing to employ what he calls a “Trump-hating, fake pollster.” He also took aim at The Wall Street Journal, calling it the “China-loving” outlet that refuses to stand up for America First values.
These legacy institutions may be out of touch, but Trump isn’t. He’s listening to the people—and fighting for the forgotten men and women of this country.
Border Security Still a Winning Issue for Trump
Despite media spin, border security remains Trump’s strongest issue, with 55% approval. That tells you everything you need to know: Americans trust President Trump to keep our borders secure and our families safe. On immigration overall, the numbers are nearly split—48% approval vs. 47% disapproval—but Trump continues to hold the edge.
What the Polls Miss: Energy, Momentum, and the Silent Majority
Trump’s average disapproval rating sits at 51.8%, with approval just under 45%, according to Decision Desk HQ/The Hill. But let’s not forget: polls in 2016 and 2020 were dead wrong. The silent majority isn’t answering calls from pollsters—they’re waiting to speak loud and clear at the ballot box.
BOTTOM LINE: The media may obsess over numbers, but it’s President Trump’s policies, principles, and people-first approach that matter most. And that’s exactly what’s going to carry him to another victory.
