‘It sucks’: Trump melts down on Rupert Murdoch as new Fox poll shows his support cratering
Donald Trump has very been busy on Truth Social on Thursday morning but took time out from attacking Democrats and his latest foe, Harvard, to snap at media mogul Rupert Murdoch.
The day after Fox News reported on their own polling showing the president is swiftly losing support as he nears the 100-day mark of his second term, Trump lashed out at Murdoch and urged him to make big changes at Fox as well as the Wall Street Journal which Murdoch also owns and has become increasingly critical of the current administration.
With the Fox polling noting, “Overall approval of Trump’s job performance comes in at 44%, down 5 points from 49% approval in March. That’s lower than the approval of Joe Biden (54%), Barack Obama (62%), and George W. Bush (63%) at the 100-day mark in their presidencies. It’s also lower by 1 point compared to Trump’s 45% approval at this point eight years ago,” the president fired back on Thursday.

On Truth Social, Trump wrote, “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. This ‘pollster’ has gotten me, and MAGA, wrong for years. Also, and while he’s at it, he should start making changes at the China Loving Wall Street Journal. It sucks!!!”
Fox’s latest polling was compiled “under the direction of Beacon Research (D) and Shaw & Company Research (R),” with the president not specifying which one, or both, should be fired.
