Trump Lashes Out at Rupert Murdoch Over Fox News’ ‘Trump Hating, Fake Pollster’ After Survey Reveals Record-Low Approval Ratings

President also calls on media mogul to make changes at Wall Street Journal: 'It sucks'

By Todd Spangler

President Trump is unhappy with Fox News Channel again over the conservative outlet’s poll finding that he has record-low approval ratings after the first 100 days of his second term in office.

“Rupert Murdoch has told me for years that he is going to get rid of his FoxNews, Trump Hating, Fake Pollster, but he has never done so,” Trump wrote in a post on his Truth Social platform. “This ‘pollster’ has gotten me, and MAGA, wrong for years.”

Trump added that Murdoch “should start making changes at the China Loving Wall Street Journal. It sucks!!!”

Trump was evidently reacting to a new Fox News poll of American voters, released Wednesday, that found over approval of the president’s job performance was 44% — down 5 points from March and 1 point lower than his then-record 45% approval rating after the 100-day mark in 2017. Trump’s approval ratings in the first 100 days in office are lower than those for Biden (54%), Obama (62%) and George W. Bush (63%), per Fox News.
