what would trump's approval rating look like if not for fox 'news', One America Network, and Newsmax, et al...

Independent media studies and political data suggest that Donald Trump’s approval rating would likely fall into the low-to-mid 20s or teens without the protective insulation of right-wing media networks.
While isolating the exact numerical impact of a media ecosystem is mathematically complex, political scientists and media researchers point to specific data mechanisms that explain how networks like Fox News, Newsmax, and the One America News Network (OAN) artificially buoy his numbers.

Political data and historical viewership models indicate that conservative media functions as a powerful floor for Trump's approval, preventing it from collapsing entirely even during severe political or economic crises.
