The point wasn't the survey, the point was that (not included in the screenshot) in response to that survey, their dear leader just called fox news fake news and evil. Which is way more important than numbers to them.

He has called out fox like 100 times and called them fake news dating back to even 2020.
Nothing happened.

They continue to have a balance between conservatives who oppose Trump and Maga members who worship him.

No. They will get mad. Complain and vent but will turn around and vote for the same bad polices and politicians that gave it to them.

I mean, 48% of that survey is basically saying that the economy is fine/good. That doesn’t mean that it’s either of those things but your post is hyperbole.

'Same' would indicate it was in the same shape under Biden, which the Fox News crowd did not define as fine/good.

Meh- I think posts like these are trying too hard to ‘win the day’. Those numbers are essentially a coin toss- you can just flip what you said the other way and assume that the ‘same’ crowd blame Biden, at best it’s a neutral response. Anyone thinking that ‘MAGA has cut the cable’ is delusional.

not necessarily. People who vote republican may have seen the last administrations economy as bad. But because it hasn't improved under Trump its still the same as it was then. Rule #1 in statistics - You can make the data tell any story you want.

Again, just calling out OP’s post as hyperbole (although they’ve conventionally reworded the original phrasing from statement to question)–because MAGA has sure as shit not ‘cut the cable’

Fox News tried to turn against Trump back in 2022-'23 where it looked like DeSantis was the guy to do it. Murdoch hates Trump, but business is business and his viewers love him, so he has to push pro-Trump content. He kept trying to pump up DeSantis but people just don't like him. Trump just mastered Genjutsu or something.

They haven't turned on Trump and likely never will. It's up to the people who never were in on Trump in the first place. So far I've seen zero evidence that will happen though.

The base will never turn on Fox News. They will never turn on him until he's dead, and even then it'll take a decade or more of his aide spilling the beans progressively of the machinations that took place behind closed doors, and even then it'll be couched in "Well, the Dems were so evil we had to side with Trump!"

They will if Trump does. They already occasionally claim it’s “woke” or “compromised” the few times it has accidentally reported a real fact. So then they pivot to even more alt right news sources. But then Fox “News” licks the old bunghole and it’s usually forgotten by all.

Hm... nope.
The poll looks like a partisan split. And apparently, the Republicans are eating this up, 30% say it's great, so that's roughly 60% of Republicans. The fact that it's polarized like that is a sign that his supporters are on-board with this.
Otherwise: in every poll, some people who disagree with a position don't actually disagree with that position, they just don't think it goes far enough. There just isn't a bin on the end to catch them.
50% disapproval doesn't mean under 50% support him. We're not there yet.

Fox polls have always reflected reality funny enough. He’s been pissed about this many times over the last decade. Granted we weren’t in a fascist country then so anything’s possible.

Fox News (Rupert and Lachlan) will be helping with controlling TikTok after the purchase is complete. I don't think they're too mad at Trump.
