A recent Fox News segment focused on President Donald Trump’s declining approval ratings and the Republican Party’s continued loyalty to him despite negative polling trends.

During the broadcast, Fox News anchor Gillian Turner questioned Republican National Committee chair Joe Gruters about several new polls showing Trump’s approval numbers falling significantly.

According to a Fox News poll conducted between May 15 and May 18 among 1,002 registered voters, Trump received a 39% approval rating while 61% disapproved of his performance, marking the highest disapproval figure recorded by the network during his presidency.

Additional surveys cited during the discussion included an AP-NORC poll showing 37% approval and 62% disapproval, as well as a Wall Street Journal poll with 41% approval and 57% disapproval.Turner noted that it was striking that Trump still maintained strong support within the Republican Party despite these numbers.

Joe Gruters defended Trump’s influence over Republicans, arguing that the party base remains strongly supportive of him and emphasizing Trump’s effectiveness in endorsing candidates during elections.

Gruters also dismissed concerns over Trump’s endorsement of former Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton in the Texas Senate primary instead of Senator John Cornyn.Even longtime Fox commentator Brit Hume expressed concern that Cornyn might be a safer candidate for Republicans in the general election.The Wall Street Journal poll also indicated that Democrats currently hold an 8-point advantage on the generic congressional ballot.Additionally, the survey suggested that strong approval among Republican voters has weakened compared to earlier in the year.The article portrays growing concerns within conservative media circles about Trump’s broader political standing ahead of upcoming elections.
