“ME AND THE PRESIDENT AGREE”: VP JD Vance Calls Out Fox News Polling While Live on Air

In a fiery exchange on Fox News, Vice President JD Vance didn’t mince words when confronting the network’s polling results that showed Democrats leading Republicans 52% to 46% in congressional preference. Vance, responding with a blunt “sorry, it’s true”, dismissed the poll, echoing a sentiment shared by President Trump—that Fox News has consistently delivered “the worst polling” in their assessments.

As the host cautioned that a six-point gap could prove problematic for the GOP’s chances at maintaining a majority, Vance remained unfazed. He swiftly pivoted to the Trump administration’s record, focusing on the economic consequences of the Biden years. Vance pointed out that during Biden’s presidency, the average American lost $3,000 in take-home pay, an impact he contrasted with the Trump administration’s recovery efforts. In the first year of the Trump term, he noted, the average American had gained about $1,200 in take-home pay.

Vance framed the upcoming 2026 midterms as a critical crossroads, declaring it a “rescue mission” for the country. He emphasized that the U.S. is still recovering from the “hole” left by the Biden administration and warned against returning control to the Democrats, whom he said had “burned down the house” and made most Americans “much less wealthy and much less safe.”

In his message to voters, Vance urged them to “double down” on President Trump’s leadership, asserting that the recovery from the “problems caused by Joe Biden” was only just beginning.

Despite the Fox News polling, Vance believes the 2026 elections will ultimately come down to one crucial question: Are Americans “better off” than they were a year ago? This key metric will be central as both parties brace for the February 24 State of the Union address, marking a major opportunity for the administration to push its messaging on national television.
