Fox’s Jessica Tarlov Rattles off Trump’s Brutal New Poll Numbers: ‘That Is Unsustainable’

The number of Americans who approve of President Donald Trump has dropped steadily in recent months, and Jessica Tarlov was more than willing to tell her Fox News co-hosts.

A CNN poll released on Wednesday showed Trump with an approval rating of 31%, his lowest ever in any CNN poll. The survey comes exactly a week after a Fox News poll showed the president notched a disapproval rating of 59%, his highest ever in any Fox News survey.

The Iran war, which Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu launched on Feb. 28, has weighed on the president’s poll numbers, thanks in large part to the surging price of oil, and with it, gasoline. On Wednesday’s installment of The Five, Tarlov rattled off some unflattering data about the president:

His approval rating in now every poll we have seen this week is in the 30s. We’re not even talking about the low 40s. The CNN poll, he’s minus 24 with men, minus two with white voters who don’t have a college degree, minus 17 with seniors. And 65% say that his policies are making their economic conditions worse. That is unsustainable – not even if you’re thinking about a midterm. You just can’t go through the rest of an administration like that.

Last month, Trump seized on a CNN poll showing that 100% of of self-described MAGA voters supported him.

“The CNN poll said I’m 100%, and they’ve never seen that before, which is an honor,” the president said on March 21. Five days later, he reiterated, “I got 100 percent in the CNN poll.”

Later that day, Enten felt compelled to give Trump a “reality check.”

“President Trump is quite popular with MAGA,” Enten said last week. “MAGA very much enjoys this [Iran] war. They very much love the president. But of course, they are just a certain portion of the electorate. When you expand it out. The reality check is this. Donald Trump has never been more unpopular in his second term in office.”
