Fox Business issues correction for botched Trump approval poll

The Fox Business Network issued an on-air correction Thursday after the network aired a poll graphic — later shared online by President Donald Trump — that incorrectly displayed the president's unfavorable rating as his job approval rating.

on behalf of Fox Business. "That tweet featured a poll that was not entirely accurate, which Fox Business would like to correct."The Georgetown Politics poll, as featured on Fox Business network's "Lou Dobbs Tonight," showed a 58 percent approval rating for Trump's handling of the economy and a 55 percent overall approval rating for the president.

, 41 percent have a favorable view of Trump. Of those polled, 52 percent disapprove of Trump's job as president, compared with the 43 percent who said they approve.Sign Up

What I can’t understand is that INCORRECT graphic is still on realDonaldTrump’s twitter page. But this is typical for Trump’s. He doesn’t care about facts or truth. If he likes it or makes him look good he’ll promote it. Even Fox admitted to the error. Trump won’t admit to it.

The freaks of Fox.

LouDobbs never made the correction on his show.

Worth zero

Imagine the outrage had CNN made a 'mistake' like this.

Unlike the President, at least the Propaganda Network admits when they are clearly wrong!

Fake News!

I think it may have been deliberate. Once it's out there people either miss the correction or say that Fox was pressured into changing it because of some conspiracy.

Oops. Trump shared the correction right?

Hi In on age of digital distractions 😂

Old white dudes that need to be gone..and end of life... our kids deserve better than these trolls.

Well...they've done this before. The correction, now, this is a first.

FoxBusiness has the same problem with numbers as DimwitDon .

It figures. They've got everything upside down at Fox.

Accidentally on purpose...

Yeah... I’m sure it was an honest mistake. 🙄

BS FOX DID IT ON PURPOSE TO PLEASE TRUMP!

Done on purpose. Outrageous

Business and math are hard.

Well done FOX. We are all waiting to here Politico's correction over the past two years. READY!

liberalgoddess Oops, their bad! Unfortunately, the damage was already done. 😡😡

This doesn’t my any sense after 53 % then trying to say 55 unfavorable The is odd number

Most of us know FoxNews is just a right-wing propaganda machine. They're just grasping for straws as usual.

Let’s see Lou Dobbs tonight start off his show saying he blew it FoxBusiness

DON'T ANY OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE HAVE A FAVORABLE VIEW OF DONALD TRUMP, EXCEPT FOR HIS DEPLORABLE FOLLOWERS THE 40%

I thought everyone was losing their minds.

And of course Honest Abe Trump will correct the mistaken impression he gave by retweeting this fantasy garbage. Well, won't he? Ha ha, he'll stick to the first version, what a yuge unhinged jerk.

Whoopsy

How dare they challenge their faith!

Slime oozing from the swamp

FoxNews

They knew it was wrong. Just like Barr knows it is wrong to call an investigation spieing . They let it float out there to get to the trump base before they correct it.

As Thomas Friedman (New York Times) tomfriedman said: 'We have a president without shame, who is backed by a party without spine and is supported by a network called FOX without integrity.'

I don't know why anyone is surprised at this.

Lyin LouDobbs !

See? You can't trust either one!

Just another con game.

can't really expect a 'business network' to know that much about numbers

I am sure the president will Tweet an apology very shortly, highlighting that his unfavorability rating is actually at 55%, while his favorability rating is well, not anywhere near that.

MonicaCrowley kimguilfoyle charliekirk11 Maybe they should have talked to Monica first

Waiting for Politico to issue an on-air correction for lying and misleading their consumers for the last three years

The disapproval figures also included polling from multiple Mexican Countries

It was on purpose.

They are so thorough with their research.

Fun fact: Trump’s tweet is still up, 8 hours later.
