Tue Apr 29 23:00:00 UTC 2025: ## Trump Official Attacks Fox News Pollster Over President’s Low Approval Ratings
**NEW YORK** – A top Trump administration official, Stephen Miller, publicly criticized Fox News’ polling data during a live interview on the network, dismissing the network’s findings on President Trump’s declining approval ratings. The exchange occurred during a segment marking Trump’s first 100 days in his second term.
Anchor John Roberts presented poll data showing while Trump maintained high approval for his handling of border security and immigration, his overall numbers were significantly lower, particularly concerning the economy, tariffs, and inflation. Miller responded by calling for the firing of Fox News’ pollster, claiming their polling has consistently been inaccurate regarding President Trump.
Fox News defended its polling in a statement following the interview. However, the network’s poll echoed other recent surveys showing Trump’s approval rating at its lowest point in over 70 years. A CNN poll placed his approval at 41 percent, while an NPR/PBS News/Marist poll revealed that nearly half of respondents gave Trump an “F” grade for his first 100 days.
Miller, a staunch Trump loyalist and key figure in the administration’s public relations efforts, attributed the low approval ratings to biased media coverage and highlighted the administration’s success in reducing border crossings as a significant achievement. He is expected to continue his active role in defending the administration’s policies. President Trump is scheduled to hold a rally celebrating his first 100 days in Michigan later today.
