Tucker Carlson\u2019s popularity has collapsed and is in \u201cabsolute free fall\u201d among Republican voters as President Trump blasts the former Fox News host as \u201ca low IQ person that has absolutely no idea what\u2019s going on.<\/a>\u201d<\/p>\n The commentator\u2019s favorability rating among Republican-leaning voters has dropped by a stunning 47 percentage points over the last two years, according to a poll<\/a> from YouGov and UMass Lowell. The poll was conducted at the end of March, before Trump\u2019s full onslaught, but well into the war in Iran.<\/p>\n In March 2024, Carlson held a +54 favorability rating with conservative voters. Two years later, that figure has cratered to just +7, the poll shows.<\/p>\n The numbers reflect a trend that began with former Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene<\/span><\/span>, who resigned from Congress after a bitter split with the president. Trump-backed Republican Clay Fuller won the special election<\/a> Tuesday night to fill the seat.<\/p>\n CNN\u2019s polling expert described Carlson as \u201celectoral poison,\u201d pointing to data showing that California Gov. Gavin Newsom would beat him by 11 percentage points in a general election. Vice President JD Vance, on the other hand, would win by 3 points over Newsom.<\/p>\n \u201cWhen you go up against Donald Trump and you want to appeal to the Republican base, to quote the movie \u2018Good Burger,\u2019 <\/em>you\u2019re going in the grinder, and that\u2019s exactly what has happened to Tucker Carlson, who has absolutely collapsed among Republicans,\u201d Enten said.<\/p>\n Tucker Carlson has been in absolute free fall among the GOP. His net favorable has dropped by 47 points.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, Trump crushes Tucker among the GOP. Trump\u2019s net favorable is 54 pts higher than Carlson\u2019s.<\/p>\n When you up against Trump, you in the grinder to quote Good Burger. pic.twitter.com\/oz30tsWGhW<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 (((Harry Enten))) (@ForecasterEnten) April 10, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Kalshi prediction markets only give Carlson a five percent chance of securing the 2028 GOP nomination, with Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio running well ahead.<\/p>\n Republican voters \u201cchoose Donald Trump basically every single time,\u201d Enten added, a point raised by conservative commentator Meghan McCain.<\/p>\n \u201cI don\u2019t know how every single podcaster and influencer hasn\u2019t realized by this time that republicans will choose Trump over them \u2013 absolutely every single time,\u201d McCain said.<\/p>\n I don\u2019t know how every single podcaster and influencer hasn\u2019t realized by this time that republicans will choose Trump over them \u2013 absolutely every single time. https:\/\/t.co\/Wi4z78YhQ5<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Meghan McCain (@MeghanMcCain) April 10, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n The fresh data comes after President Trump went scorched earth Thursday night on Tucker Carlson, Megyn Kelly, Candace Owens, and Alex Jones, calling the four podcasters \u201clow IQ,\u201d \u201closers,\u201d and \u201cnut jobs.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cThey\u2019ve all been thrown off Television, lost their Shows, and aren\u2019t even invited on TV because nobody cares about them, they\u2019re NUT JOBS, TROUBLEMAKERS, and will say anything necessary for some \u2018free\u2019 and cheap publicity,\u201d Trump said in a Truth Social post<\/a>.<\/p>\n In response, the Tucker Carlson Network started selling \u201clow IQ\u201d hats, \u201ccalling all nut jobs, troublemakers, and third rate podcasters\u201d to buy their merchandise.<\/p>\n Calling all nut jobs, troublemakers, and third rate podcasters!
