I love how Tucker always tells the honest brutal truth about everything even if he knows he’s going to piss some people off. https://t.co/sFjR5CAlMS

As for Fox News, it seems to be facing some internal challenges. Its once-revered conservative news outlet recorded a net favorability rating of -4%, signifying a substantial drop in support among Republican viewers. It’s not entirely clear what’s causing this downturn, but it’s evident that conservative voters are ready for a change.
That’s where Carlson’s move to Twitter might come in handy. He praised Twitter as the most trusted news center in America, and with Musk’s endorsement, Carlson’s show is expected to gain a substantial following. Fox News, on the other hand, recently announced a network shakeup, moving Sean Hannity to Carlson’s former time slot. It’s a blatant attempt to shift prime-time programming, signaling the network’s desperation to regain its lost audience.
Overall, the poll results showcase an undeniable shift in conservative media preferences. Tucker Carlson and Elon Musk have both captured the hearts of Republicans nationwide, while Fox News continues to struggle with declining favorability. At the end of the day, it’s clear that Republicans are ready for change, and Carlson and Musk seem prepared to lead the charge.
