Fox News in brutal Trump blow as president has 'worst ratings in 70 years'

aired a blistering blow to US president as his approval ratings continue to slump, with anchor Jessica Tarlov becoming engaged in a furious row with panellist Greg Gutfeld live on-air. Greg asked her: "What do you make of the judge's analysis [of Trump's first 100 days]? I don't see any holes in it."

Jessica, however, was set to put a dampener on things, explaining: "I see a few. It's like, is it Swiss cheese that's the holiest of all the cheeses?" Speaking about her co-star off-camera, she informed the audience: "She's looking at me and smiling at me, I just have to keep looking ahead, just so viewers at home know we're still friends.

"I have heard, '[Trump] has nothing to prove, the cabinet is totally in sync and he's crushing it', and if any of that were true he wouldn't be out there lying about everything from election results to how his first 100 days have been. It is the worst 100 days for a president in 70 years."

Gutfeld cut across her to argue: "That's not true!" but Tarlov insisted: "It's objectively true."

"No, it's not objectively true!" Greg snapped, telling her: "It's your opinion!" Tarlov explained calmly: "It's based on data, on approval ratings. That's what it's based on. The approval ratings for all of the presidents and his being the lowest."

According to a poll, Trump's approval rating is 41% - the lowest for any newly elected president at 100 days since at least Dwight Eisenhower. From women he has just a 36% approval rating, while only 28% of Hispanics approve of his actions.

93% of Democrats disapprove of his actions so far, while the number of political independents disapproving is currently 31%.

The dip is even lower than Trump's first term in 2016.
