In a fervent defence of Donald Trump's embattled public support, a Fox News commentator asserted that the former president's record-low approval ratings are the result of voters holding him to expectations set by his own 'successes'.
Trump's approval ratings have hovered at historically poor levels throughout 2025, with several authoritative polls showing his support below the critical 40% mark, a position that political analysts characterise as 'underwater' and atypically weak for a sitting or recent president. Independent polling data reflect broad dissatisfaction with his handling of economic and national issues, even as Republican loyalty remains relatively high.
