Your support makes all the difference.President Donald Trump is becoming less popular among people who say Fox News is their most-trusted news network, according to new data from Suffolk University.
Between June and December, Mr Trump’s favourability rating dropped significantly from 90 per cent to 58 per cent among poll respondents who said they trust Fox over any other news network.
Over the course of the year, Suffolk has asked people to weigh in on their views of Mr Trump multiple times.
Mr Trump has often praised Fox News, probably because of its mostly positive coverage of him.
Meanwhile, he frequently criticises other media outlets, particularly CNN, calling them “fake news”.
Last month, he tweeted that “Fox News is MUCH more important” than CNN.
Among poll respondents who trust CNN the most, the second-most popular network, Mr Trump’s favorability rating has been consistently dismal, according to Suffolk.
