According to a Rasmussen poll, 59% of probable US voters had a positive opinion of Tucker Carlson, with 36% having a very favorable opinion of him. 34% of potential voters dislike Carlson, with 25% having a very negative opinion of the former Fox News anchor.
Carlson has a better favorability rating than Fox News, which is seen positively by 52% of voters, with 24% having a very favorable view. 42% had a negative perception of Fox News, with 28% having a very negative opinion.
Fox News ratings have dropped following the network’s apparent firing of Carlson on April 23.
Only 19% of voters think Tucker Carlson’s departure will improve Fox News. On the contrary, 32% feel Carlson’s departure will harm the network. 41% believe Carlson’s exit will have little impact at Fox. Unsurprisingly, Carlson is most popular among those supporting Republicans and people who classify as conservative.
Tucker is viewed positively by 71 percent of Republican voters, 48 percent of Democratic voters, and 55 percent of independent voters.

Carlson’s economic favorability is best among people earning between $30,000 and $50,000 each year. Individuals earning more than $200,000 per year are more likely to believe that Carlson’s departure will benefit Fox News.
Overall, Tucker’s exit from Fox News will likely have a negative impact on the network’s show quality. He was actually the only TV personality that made Fox interesting to watch.
However, there’s actually a silver lining to Tucker’s departure: he can now freely express himself about controversial topics on various other platforms if he chooses to do so. Hopefully, he will tap into the expanding alternative media ecosystem and begin again with a truly politically incorrect kind of programming.

I am with Tucker all the way.
I agree he’s the best
I miss Tucker’s news commentary..not knowing the reasons he is gone. I believe in freedom of speech…oops…yes I do…
I miss Tucker Carlson…….I hope he will get a news anchor job on another station who appreciates him.
Miss Tucker!
Tucker, you’re sorely missed! I, hope you get to NewsMax. If, not then, Your own show, which I would subscribe too! Just to get the truth about the unseen war that’s being waged against the Whole Global Cabal.
Tucker Carlson is the best political commentator by far
Why waste time watching FOX any longer? Just tune in ABC (Disney)…NBC (Bordom Inc.)…CBS (Can’t Blame Slavery)…MSN or CNN for the “non-news”, woke liars.
It is really strange how we let 2% of the population control 98% of the citizens.
What a mess.
Miss the man!
Why is it that Pornography and Drag Queens playing to children cannot be censored…..But conservative views on a national news station, Can Be Censored….makes no sense.
What has happened to our American way and standards….are we supposed to throw it all away just because Biden is so corrupt and stupid. Hunter Biden is a criminal who seemingly cannot be touched, but Tucker Carlson can be CENSORED, just because the Democrats said so!!!!!! This dirty dealing is sickening and makes me a sad American who still loves her country. It is just so sad that the “Republicans” are not able to stand up to the Biden regime.
Oh, and I will never watch Fox news again….!
There are plenty of others at Fox to fill the void.
2 face fox news hasn’t been very nice in many years. Quit watching when Q arrived on public display and enlightened me and many others.
I missed Bill O’Reilly after years of watching him !
I was Horrified when I turned to watch your show and you were not there !
I have a definite different view of Fox !
Best of luck on what you do next.
I am sorry that FOX discarded Tucker, I am missing him and there is not much to watch except old reruns. I am anxious to see a change if possible. And Fox should Value the good guys/ ladies
BIG MISTAKE for Fox.
Tucker has always been honest about what he has broadcasted. Unfortunately for fox they need to fix A Lot!! Tucker Rules!!

I loved Tucker Carlson’s commentaries and used to mka sure I did not miss his show. I hope he gets another job real quick so I can watch him tell the truth about voter fraud and the corrupt biden family.
You can watch Tucker on YouTube. They play his Twitter show. I believe there have been 6 Episodes so far and they are all great. I was just getting into his show when they fired him. His shows about Jan 6th were dynamite. I’m pretty sure that’s why they fired him. It probably melted Democrat brains. I bet those shoes can’t be found anywhere. I watch the free version of YouTube on my TV.
Tucker Carlson was one of the main reasons I watched Fox News. I didn’t always agree with everything he said but I was happy that he had a platform to say it and that I could hear it and I could argue with him from home. Fox News used to be the one place I could turn to to hear the truth. My voice was taken from me by the woke cancel culture vultures. Fox News gave me back my voice and they said all the things I was thinking but either couldn’t find the words to express it or was afraid to. I’ve lost family and friends because of the woke left-wing communist Democratic party stomping on the rights of everybody else. But I’m done with Fox. I’ve seen how they stifle their stars. They don’t realize what a good thing they had with the highest ratings of any show on TV and now it seems Fox News has done a Bud light. I Will be watching Newsmax.
I love every other host and journalist on Fox. But I cannot support that show anymore because it seems like the Murdoch brothers are trying to turn it into another CNN.
