Fox News Host Bret Baier Pushes Back at Trump Over Network Polls
Bret Baier corrected Trump live as he attacked Fox News polling that forecast Republican losses and said the network had misread him for 12 years.
- On Wednesday, November 4, 2026, Fox News anchor Bret Baier corrected President Donald Trump live on air after Trump attacked the network's midterm polling. Baier noted that Fox's final predictions accurately forecasted Democratic control of the House of Representatives.
- Trump claimed on Tuesday night that Fox News "bears responsibility" for catastrophic Republican midterm losses, alleging that negative polling and biased reporting depressed conservative turnout. He also targeted Jessica Tarlov of The Five, calling her "the WORST."
- In a series of social media posts, Trump attacked the network's polling as a "hit job" and claimed FoxNews ratings were down 27 percent. He also cited a nonexistent CNN poll, falsely asserting "99 percent approval in the Republican Party."
- Democrats took control of both the House and Senate in what Reuters described as a sweeping repudiation of the president. Despite the losses, Trump accepted the outcome and congratulated Democrats, though he insisted he would have won had he been on the ballot.
- Despite the heated rhetoric, Trump told The New York Times he is open to working with Democrats, saying he would "probably work something out." He intends to focus on immigration but threatened to veto legislation he considers "insane.
