Trump attacks Fox News poll, Tarlov's voice on 2026 midterm election night

Summary

The MeidasTouch segment reports on two Truth Social posts by President Trump on November 3, 2026, as early voting results and pre-election coverage aired on Fox News during the 2026 midterm elections. In one, Trump criticized the network's voter poll as 'always the worst,' claiming its questions were 'hit jobs' and answers 'bullshit.' In the second, he complained about co-host Jessica Tarlov's voice, calling her 'dumb as a rock' and a 'loser,' saying he had to switch channels until she was off air. The clip notes he did not stay away long, frames it as him 'hate watching' amid incoming data, and promotes the MeidasTouch live election coverage with hosts including Katie Fang, Scott McFarland, and Ben Meiselas, claiming over 35,000 concurrent viewers.

Sourcing relies on direct screenshots or quotes of Trump's posts, with no named additional experts or graphics beyond the host's commentary. The throughline emphasizes Trump's frustration with mainstream coverage and positions MeidasTouch as an alternative.

Editorial Assessment

The broadcast accurately conveys Trump's public statements, which multiple outlets independently reported on election night. However, descriptors like 'losing it' and 'seething' inject subjective emotional framing not evident in the posts themselves, potentially skewing viewers toward seeing instability rather than routine criticism of polling and a liberal commentator. Viewers miss context that Trump has repeatedly attacked Fox for platforming Democrats and Tarlov specifically, and that the Fox poll in question showed his approval at a record low of 36% with strong headwinds on inflation and the economy for Republicans. The self-promotional close frames the network favorably without disclosing its partisan lean. Overall, it is mostly factual on the quotes but uses selective emphasis and loaded wording typical of partisan commentary.
