Fox News Anchor Runs Down Trump’s Brutal Numbers in Fox Poll

Fox News anchor Sandra Smith read out the network’s brutal poll numbers on President Donald Trump’s performance on the economy, taxes, and inflation, Monday, showing that Americans overwhelmingly disapprove of his performance in each category.

“This is President Trump’s job approval rating,” revealed Smith. “On taxes, 38% approve, 53% disapprove. This is Fox News polling, 38% on the economy approve, 56% disapprove, 33% on inflation – we know this was huge in the election – 59% disapprove.”

She continued, “But Scott Bessent had a very important message, as the 100-day mark approaches, on all of that. Listen from this morning.”

Smith then played a clip of Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent saying, “We’ve got a three-legged stool here. It’s trade, it’s tax, it’s deregulation. President Trump has come out of the block roaring, and I think this is something new for the American people.”

“And that something new might be, you know, the short-term pain people are feeling reflected in the polls,” suggested Smith. “But will they hang in there, Robert, to see what is promised as long-term gain?”

Fox News contributor Robert Wolf weighed in, “A tariff is a tax on the consumer. Yes, it brings revenues, but it’s not a tax cut to the consumer, so that’s just not true.”

He continued, “With respect to the three-legged stool, I think with short-term pain, you’re seeing it in the polls, people don’t know really what’s going on. Things are actually– some of the prices are going up, some are going down, this is not actually the immediate, you know, great economy that the president spoke about. Actually, half the economists think we’re going into a recession.”
