Trump Revels in Tucker Carlson’s ‘Freefall’ in GOP Opinion Polling

Trump shared a CNN poll showing he is more favorable than Tucker Carlson while he attacked several commentators on Truth Social.

  • On Friday, President Donald Trump attacked conservative media figures Tucker Carlson, Megyn Kelly, Candace Owens, and Alex Jones via Truth Social, sharing a CNN poll showing 77% of Republicans favor him versus 31% for Carlson.
  • This intensifying feud follows weeks of criticism from the commentators regarding Trump's military operations in Iran, his genocidal rhetoric, and his public attacks on Pope Leo XIV over foreign policy.
  • Dismissing the group as "nutjobs" and "troublemakers" with "Low IQs," Trump argued their views contradict the MAGA base and dismissed them as "losers" seeking attention through podcast platforms.
  • Conservative journalist Scott Morefield warned that these attacks alienate independent-minded voters crucial to the coalition, cautioning that Republicans may struggle in future elections without addressing their concerns.
  • As anti-war independents and libertarians increasingly listen to these podcasters, the once-unified coalition shows signs of cracking, potentially threatening GOP prospects in upcoming electoral cycles.
