Just In Time for Midterms, President Trump Supposedly Trailing In Another Faux Fox Poll

'Cost-of-living concerns weigh on GOP in midterms as Trump's approval hits all-time low'-Today's Blaring Banner headline on Fox News.

‘Poll: Cost-of-living concerns weigh on GOP in midterms-subhead for banner headline, Fox News, Oct. 14, 2026.

Only 19 days before Midterms, Fox News released one of its faux Fox Polls. Some of us still remember when Fox News called Arizona’s election before the polls had even closed back in 2020.

Says Fox in today’s article:

“When voters rate the economy and the president negatively just weeks before Election Day, the incumbent party is vulnerable, and that’s certainly the case in the latest Fox News survey.”

“And that’s CERTAINLY the case in the latest Fox News survey”?

There’s nothing “certain” about the outcome of an election— before it even takes place.

This sketchy poll/survey indicating that Trump and the Republicans are in serious decline dropped front page by a major news outlet whose coverage is largely about ‘Entertainment’ as ‘News’, and where endless ‘headlines’ about ‘so and so’ “stunning fans” in her bikini, are more than likely unidentified paid advertisements.

According to Fox:

“The economic landscape is stark. Six in 10 voters say the cost of living is their top economic worry, overshadowing government spending (15%), jobs and income inequality (7% each), tariffs (6%) and taxes (5%).

“Majorities rate the economy negatively (74%) and expect it to worsen next year (53%), while two-thirds are dissatisfied with how things are going in the country (66%). Few, 18%, say their family is better off compared to two years ago. Independents say they’re worse off (52%) and think the economy will get worse (70%).

“A majority of voters, 55%, say inflation is "not at all" under control. That’s up from a low of 45% earlier this year, and includes 30% of Republicans.(Fox News)

“President Donald Trump’s lowest job rating is on inflation: 22% approve, a new low. Last summer, 36% approved. Four years ago, before the 2022 midterms, 29% approved of former President Joe Biden’s performance on inflation.

So 29% approved of former President Joe Biden’s performance on inflation?

Could that come from the simple fact that more Democrats than Republicans were polled back in 2022?

Who was Fox News polling this time out?

“1,202 registered voters randomly selected from a national voter file,” before running it as front page news, 19 days before Midterms, that’s who! --Fox News

Meanwhile, the imminent Midterms could be the most significant one in American history. Its outcome means not only your future but the future of your children and grandchildren.

The fact is that numbers matter, and in a poll where only 1,202 people were polled or surveyed, Fox hides behind percentages, in the end deliberately or unknowingly confusing and demoralizing as many people as possible.

Best to get out and vote in person as if your life depends upon in, because maybe it does.

Toss all Fox News’ polls and surveys aside and show up in person to vote on November 3.
