Well, here we are again—President Donald Trump throwing shade at Fox News, this time over some rather grim polling numbers that say over half of Americans reckon the economy under his watch isn’t exactly thriving. Now, considering the stars are aligning with Mercury retrograde playing tricks on our communication, is it any wonder the messaging feels a bit… off? Yesterday, Trump sat down with Fox’s Martha MacCallum and basically labeled their polling data as “the worst polling I’ve ever had.” Not exactly a vote of confidence in the channel’s crystal ball, huh? With approval ratings dipping lower than a bass line in a funk groove across 24 states, and comparisons to past presidents making Trump look like the opening act rather than the headliner, things seem pretty tough on the numbers front. Yet, he’s holding firm—claiming he inherited the worst inflation mess ever, and promising a miraculous economic encore once those factories fire up. But will the public buy this comeback story? Or is it all just another chart that’s in need of a serious remix? Dive into the full beat behind this political drama and see how tariffs and polls are playing their own symphony in this chaotic concert. LEARN MORE.
President Donald Trump has aimed at Fox News, slamming its latest polling data, which shows more than half of Americans think the economy has worsened under his administration.
Yesterday (September 18), Trump sat down with Fox News anchor Martha MacCallum, where he dismissed the network’s numbers as ‘the worst polling I’ve ever had’.
The 79-year-old’s approval ratings haven’t been looking so good either, as US citizens across 24 states had a negative opinion of his presidency.
And in comparison to his predecessors, it’s even bleaker, as Trump was staring at the bottom of the ladder when it came to approval rankings. However, the former businessman thinks it’s going pretty well, as he told MacCallum that he’d ‘inherited the worst inflation ever’.
“We now have very low inflation, we have great production, and when these factories that are being built all over the country start opening up, we’re gonna have numbers like no one has ever seen before – including jobs.” he said.
But MacCallum wasn’t letting him off the hook so easily.

She asked: “We do see polling that doesn’t poll well in the economy. The recent Fox polling said 52 per cent say the economy is worse under this administration. We’ve got unemployment at the highest rate in four years. Groceries made a big jump in the last term.
“You’re looking forward with these plans that you just talked about, when will people feel that, President Trump?
Trump, unfazed, argued that the US’s economic rebound is just around the corner, as he responded: “Well, when the factories start opening. I mean, right now, we’re building them, you know, Fox polling, I have to tell you – I’ve told you before – it’s the worst polling I’ve ever had.”
He went on to claim that during the 2024 election, they estimated him ‘winning by a little bit and not a massive amount’, as he added: “I told Rupert Murdoch, go get yourself a new pollster because he stinks.”
This isn’t the first time Trump has had a problem with Fox’s polls, as he wrote on Truth Social in April that Murdoch had apparently ‘told me for years that he is going to get rid of his FoxNews, Trump-hating, Fake Pollster, but he has never done so’.
According to Variety, there’s no indication that Murdoch had ever told Trump this, however.
Elsewhere in his interview, he then pivoted to tariffs, claiming they were the real reason for a supposed industrial resurgence, insisting that carmakers that are relocating to Mexico, Canada, China, Japan and Germany are ‘all coming back now’.
“Without the tariffs, a different story, but they’re coming back because of the tariffs, and you’re gonna see that kick in probably in the year or so,” he claimed.
