A new survey released Sunday reveals just how impenetrable President Donald Trump’s level of support among regular Fox News viewers is, and suggests that a mass mobilization among those who support impeaching and removing Trump from office may be the only way Congress will finally hold him to account.

The Public Religion Research Institute (PRRI) polled 2,000 people and found that among Republican voters who use Fox News as their regular news source, 55 percent said that no action taken by Trump could cause them to oppose him.

The findings bolstered the president’s statement, made during the 2016 election, that he “could stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody and [he] wouldn’t lose any voters.”

But the results varied for Republicans who don’t regularly turn to Fox for their news; only 29 percent of them said there was nothing Trump could do to lose their approval, and only 39 percent said they strongly approve of the president.

Ninety percent of Republicans who don’t watch Fox regularly said they don’t support impeachment and removal of Trump from office, compared to 98 percent of those who do watch Fox.

The former number “is overwhelmingly high,” Washington Post columnist Greg Sargent wrote, “but suggests that among this group, at least, Trump could suffer losses on the margins as the inquiry turns up worse revelations.”

As journalist Mehdi Hasan wrote on Twitter on Tuesday, Fox News is “not just a conservative news outlet. It is a propaganda channel for the president and his party, and there is no liberal or centrist equivalent to it.”

Hasan later highlighted an on-air remark from Fox News host Mark Levin that “there hasn’t even been a hint of scandal” since Trump took office as further proof that the network offers “just pure and endless propaganda.”

Trump notoriously watches several hours of Fox News on a daily basis and has been known to regularly speak with host Sean Hannity after Hannity ends his nightly show.
