The president has lashed out at Fox News contributor Jessica Tarlov after she cited polling data showing him with declining approval ratings, prompting a public exchange in which Tarlov defended her analysis and said, "Trump really is that unpopular."
The comments followed a segment on The Five, where Tarlov said the president had "a 35 percent approval rating in most polls," pointing to broader dissatisfaction with policies including tariffs and the war in Iran. Recent surveys reflect similar trends, with a The Economist/YouGov poll showing 38 percent approval and 56 percent disapproval.
