People who say Fox News is their most-trusted news network have been losing confidence in President Trump, according to new data from Suffolk University.
Trumps favorability rating has dropped 32 points between June and December among respondents who said they trust Fox over any other news network. In June, the number was 90 percent, and in December, just 58 percent, according to the data first reported by The Washington Post.
In June, 40 percent of all voters said they view Trump favorably compared to just 34 percent in December.

The president has appeared on the network more than a dozen times since taking office, though he has avoided being interviewed by other outlets................................

Trump is clearly a failed president and no amount of propaganda can hide it.

Fox News, known for its rightward slant, has consistently gone to bat for Donald Trump, both during the campaign and through his first year in office. But a new poll from Suffolk University shows that, since arriving at the Oval Office, Trumps numbers have cratered even among loyal Fox viewers.
In January, people who rated Fox as their most trusted network held a 90 percent favorable view of Trump. Now, that figure stands at 58 percent a staggering 32-point drop.
The souring of Fox viewers on Trump is not for the networks lack of trying to shield him from any and all allegations of incompetency or wrongdoing.
Since the beginning of the Russia investigation, for instance, Fox commentators have viciously attacked the motives and impartiality of the FBI and of special counsel Robert Mueller, despite the fact that there is not a shred of evidence of misconduct by Mueller, and that he and Trump-appointed FBI director Christopher Wray are both Republicans.

So I guess that means they're only talking to idiots, right?

I'd like to see a good poll of confidence among its viewers in Fox itself to see how that's doing.
