More often than not, Fox News and its sister channel, Fox Business, are extremely supportive of Donald Trump's second presidency. But a late April poll from Fox News shows Trump with low approval ratings on a range of issues.
According to the poll, Trump enjoys only 33 percent approval on "tariffs" and "inflation," while his approval is 38 percent on "the economy" and "taxes" and 40 percent on "foreign policy." Trump's overall approval on job performance, according to Fox News, is 44 percent positive.
Trump, however, did enjoy 55 percent approval on "border security" in the poll, along with 47 percent approval on "immigration."

Rep. Sarah McBride (D-Delaware) commented on the poll in a Wednesday night, April 23 post on X, formerly Twitter, posting, "Turns out raising prices, slashing retirement accounts, cutting Medicaid and food assistance, disappearing people, and hurting vulnerable people for the sake of it isn't actually popular. So says Fox News."
Fox News' poll continued to draw attention the next morning during an April 24 panel discussion on CNN. The panel included, among others, host John Berman and political strategist Ana Navarro, a Never Trump conservative who supported former President Joe Biden in 2020 and former Vice President Kamala Harris in 2024.
Berman noted, "Pew Research came out and has the president's approval at 40 percent and disapproval at 59 percent. And then, Fox also came out with a poll with his approval of 44 percent and disapproval of 55 percent. That's the lowest that Fox has registered among the last six presidents at this point in their term. And on the economy, the president's at 38 percent disapproval…. Way underwater on the economy."
When Berman asked Navarro to weigh in, she responded, "Look, I think it's a very direct effect of the tariffs. The tariffs have been a catastrophe to the point that people who have been his staunch supporters — people who have been big donors to him — are actually speaking out publicly. It's the first time we've seen that in these 100 days where people speak out. They've gone to the press, which they know he watches, and spoken out against these tariffs."

Navarro added, "It's had a terrible effect on the American psyche. We are also seeing what Ken Griffin from citadel described yesterday as the damaging of the American brand." .
