A Fox News poll released October 16, 2026 put Trump's approval at 36 percent, the lowest ever recorded in a Fox News poll, and found 88 percent of voters extremely or very concerned about corruption in government. The discussion has moved from the approval figure to the corruption finding: in the same poll, corruption ranked first among top concerns at 60 percent, ahead of inflation and gas prices. The emphasis now falls on how far that concern outranks the usual economic worries.
