Megyn Kelly has launched a blistering attack on President Donald Trump and the Republican Party over troubling new polling data, bluntly telling them: 'You're effed.' The conservative podcaster, who has over four million YouTube subscribers, analysed recent surveys that highlight growing concerns for the GOP ahead of the midterm elections.
Kelly pointed to a Fox News poll showing that 52 percent of registered voters now favour Democrats on the economy, compared to 48 percent for Republicans – the first time Democrats have led on this issue since 2010. She noted that Trump's approval rating on the economy stood at just 34 percent, with 66 percent disapproving. Additionally, 63 percent disapproved of his handling of Iran, and 72 percent opposed his handling of inflation.
The former Fox News host also cited a Cook Political Report analysis showing Democrats with a six-point advantage in toss-up congressional districts, which Trump won by an average of two points in 2024. 'Trump has cratered... like not even present tense anymore. It's done! You're effed!' she exclaimed, urging immediate adjustments.
Kelly, who endorsed Trump in 2024 but has since become a vocal critic, accused him of being 'bamboozled' into launching the Iran war. Earlier this week, she called the president 'amoral' and 'extremely petty and thin-skinned.' Trump responded by branding her a 'low IQ person' on social media.
The warnings extend beyond Kelly. Axios co-founder Jim VandeHei told MS NOW that Trump's polling numbers signal trouble, saying it is 'almost impossible' to get lower unfavourable ratings. The conflict in the Middle East remains under a fragile ceasefire, with the Strait of Hormuz largely sealed, driving fuel prices to a national average of $4.05 per gallon – up from $2.98 before the war began.
