Poll: Tucker Carlson More Popular Than Fox News
Half of their audience only watched Fox for Tucker. Millions of viewers have bolted and will not return. This historic blunder reflects how out of touch Fox is with their own audience. Fox has announced that they are rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic, shuffling slots with leave behinds. It’s futile.
Former Fox News prime-time host Tucker Carlson is more popular among Republicans than the network that fired him, according to a new poll out from Change Research. Carlson also beat out Twitter CEO Elon Musk.
Based on results from 404 likely Republican primary voters, Carlson scored a 59 percent net favorability rating.
Musk trailed slightly behind him with 53 percent, and Fox News earned a negative 4 percent.
Just like Tucker Carlson, Elon Musk is popular on the right, very unpopular on the left, and somewhat unpopular with the middle.

In polling reviewed by The Federalist, researchers found that the poll’s total group of respondents, which included Republicans, Democrats, and independents, gave former President Donald Trump and Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson the highest overall favorability ratings at 35 percent each. Among this total group, Carlson’s overall favorability rating was double that of Fox News.
Fox News fired Carlson in April, days after the network’s highest-rated host gave the keynote address at the Heritage Foundation’s 50th anniversary.
Carlson announced shortly after his termination from television that he would bring his show to Twitter.
“There aren’t many platforms left that allow free speech,” Carlson said in a three-minute video. “The last big one remaining in the world, the only one, is Twitter, where we are now.”
