Conservative podcast host Megyn Kelly suggested that many voters would find Democrats to be the "better option" in the midterm elections because President Donald Trump had done little other than "make things worse."
On her Thursday broadcast, Kelly pointed to recent polls that showed support for Trump had "catered."
"It's like not even present tense anymore. It's done," she explained. "Just 23% approve of his overall performance. That ticks up to 30 when it comes to how he's handled immigration. And then from there, it is all downhill. 21% of Independents support this war on Iran. You've got 79% of independents who are against folks. You cannot win elections like that."
"How many independents approve of Trump's job performance when it comes to the cost of living? 12," she continued. "So this pain is likely only to get worse. And this war [in Iran] needs to come to an end right away."
According to Kelly, Trump was not the only one facing voter dissatisfaction.
"The numbers are bad for the entire Republican Party," she remarked. "For the first time since 2010, first time in 16 years, they're favoring Democrats on the economy."
"They feel like they gave Trump a year and a half," the host added. "He's done nothing other than make things worse. This is how they feel if you read the polls. And so, and they're p—d. They're not feeling pro-GOP right now for a variety of reasons. They don't tend to like the tariffs... They don't like the war. They don't like what's happening in their bank accounts."
"And they're starting to think the Democrats might be the better option on the economy. 52% say they prefer Democrats compared to 48% who say they like the Republicans when it comes to who should manage the economy."
Earlier this month, Kelly insisted that "Trump could drop a nuke" and she would still vote for him.
