Tucker Carlson Breaks With Donald Trump as Republican Support for Media Host Plummets
Tucker Carlson has publicly ended his long-standing support for Donald Trump, leading to a sharp decline in his popularity among Republican voters. Carlson recently used his podcast to criticize the former president, marking a significant shift from his previous role as a key media ally. This change in stance included Carlson suggesting that Trump might be the antichrist, a stark departure from his earlier claims that Trump was under divine protection.
Following this public break, polling data shows that Carlson's favorability among Republican-leaning voters has dropped by 47 percentage points over the last two years. In a hypothetical matchup between the two figures, a recent poll found that Trump leads Carlson 61% to 7% among Republican respondents. This rift represents a major realignment in conservative media circles as Carlson's influence within the party reaches a new low.
