Tucker's rating circle the bowl after Trump tongue-lashes him


Tucker Carlson, the neo anti-Israel and anti-Semitic podcaster former Fox News host and neo podcaster whose neo outspoken opposition to the Iran war has strained his relationship with President Donald Trump, has seen his personal ratings circle the toilet bowl, including among Republicans, according to a new YouGov poll.

The survey was commissioned by UMass-Lowell between March 26-30. It found that Carlson’s overall favorability rating is now at a dismal 17%, with 38% viewing him like a pox. Nearly one-third of respondents said they had no opinion of him, and 15% had never heard of him.

Among Republicans, Carlson’s favorability rating is now just at 31%, with 24% viewing him unfavorably, and 35% offering no opinion for fear of being labeled liberal by the 24%. 

Interestingly, a Manhattan Institute poll of Republicans conducted in December 2025 found 63% of Republicans viewed Carlson favorably, with 21% viewing him unfavorably.

On Thursday night, Trump launched a powerful social media attack against the anti-Semite Carlson and other like-minded podcasters. He called Carlson as a “broken man” who never recovered from being fired by Fox News in 2023. 


President Trump’s post also included biting attacks against conspiracy-theorizing podcasters Candace Owens, Megyn Kelly and Alex Jones, calling them all “nut-jobs,” “troublemakers” and “low IQ” individuals.

The poll was conducted two weeks before Trump’s verbal bombs against Carlson and the far-right podcasters. That would suggest that their standing with conservatives has more room to fall in future polling.
