"His approval rating is, what, 36%," the network's chief political analyst adds The post Fox News’ Brit Hume Questions If Trump ‘Should Be Out There Front and Center’ Amid Dismal Polls appeared first on TheWrap .
New Fox News polls reveal a troubling picture for President Donald Trump as he remains a prominent figure in the Republican Party. Brit Hume, the network's Chief Political Analyst, joined Bret Baier to discuss the latest data, which shows a sharp decline in Trump's approval rating and overall confidence in the party. According to Hume, Trump's approval rating has fallen to an alarming 36%, with a disapproval rating of 64%.
This stark contrast raises concerns about whether Trump should be the party's face during the crucial midterm elections. Hume emphasized, "That means you might get 36% of the vote out, but look, 64% disapprove, that is really bad at this stage when he’s out there front and center, and it may raise the question in the minds of some people of whether he should be out there front and center the way he is given his standing."
The data, collected from October 9 to 12, highlights that voters believe Democrats would fare better on key issues such as foreign policy (54% in favor of Democrats), gas prices (55%), and inflation/prices (57%). These are areas where Republicans have traditionally led. Hume also pointed out that the polling data indicates a significant drop in Republican support for Trump, with his approval rating falling from 92% in March 2025 to 79% in September 2026.
This decline suggests that Trump's presence may be detrimental to the party's prospects in the upcoming elections.
