WWE legend Hulk Hogan's death report released

Mon, 08 Jun 2026 18:28:51 +0000

WWE legend Hulk Hogan died of natural causes and no drugs or foul play were discovered, Florida police revealed in a report.

Hogan, whose real name is Terry Bollea, died in Clearwater after reportedly suffering from possible "cardiac arrest." Word of Hogan’s death came weeks after he was alleged to be having a health crisis. But his wife, Sky, dispelled those rumors, saying he was "strong" and was recovering from surgeries.

ZERO BS. JUST DAKICH. TAKE THE DON'T @ ME PODCAST ON THE ROAD. DOWNLOAD NOW!

"Following an exhaustive review of the statements, medical records, surveillance footage from within the residence, and a visual inspection of Mr. Bollea's body, there has been no evidence to indicate the death of Terry Bollea was anything other than natural," Hogan’s death report read. "Through the course of the investigation, there has been no evidence to indicate any criminal wrongdoing related to his death. This case will be closed, and will be considered solved, non-criminal."

The report also mentioned a doctor’s determination from an August autopsy that Hogan died "exclusively from compelling natural disease, with no reasonable traumatic or terminal toxicologic contributions."

Hogan died on July 24, 2025, at 71.

He got his start in Championship Wrestling from Florida (CWF) in the late 1970s before he eventually joined the World Wrestling Federation (WWF) in 1979. However, it wasn’t until his return to the WWF, now the WWE, when he really turned into the superstar that fans came to know.

Vince McMahon had purchased the WWF from his father and picked Hogan to be the main attraction for the company. He started to wrestle as a babyface when he saved Bob Backlund from an attack by the Wild Samoans. "Hulkamania" became the rage from there.

Hogan demanded his followers to train, say their prayers and eat their vitamins. As his catchphrases and personality caught on, Hogan began one of his most famous feuds with Andre the Giant. The rivalry culminated in an epic match at WrestleMania III as Hogan, the champion, was going up against the so-called "undefeated" Giant.

Hogan was seen picking up the 520-pound behemoth and slamming him down on the ground. The move was dubbed "the bodyslam heard around the world" and became the calling card for WWE’s promotional events in the future.

He would continue with classic rivalries against Ric Flair, Randy Savage, Earthquake, Yokozuna and the Honky Tonk Man. As he left the WWF, Hogan would later rebrand himself and kick off another wild six years of him being on top of the wrestling world.

World Championship Wrestling (WCW) brought over WWF stars Kevin Nash and Scott Hall in a shrewd free agency move. The two branded themselves as The Outsiders and teased they were working together with a third man.

Nash and Hall took on Savage, Sting and Lex Luger at Bash at the Beach in 1996. Hogan came out toward the end of the match to a huge pop. Commentator Bobby "The Brain" Heenan famously wondered on the broadcast which side Hogan was on. Sure enough, Hogan delivered a leg drop onto Savage and changed the pro wrestling world forever.

Hogan’s new faction would be dubbed the New World Order, and the storyline would allow WCW to control the ratings for 83 consecutive weeks.

Hogan would later return to WWE after the company bought WCW for another run and had a dream match against The Rock. He had a four-year run with Total Nonstop Action Wrestling and would make sporadic appearances in WWE after that.

He was a six-time WWE champion, won the Royal Rumble twice and was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame as an individual in 2005 and as a member of the NWO in 2020. He was also a six-time world heavyweight champion in WCW as well as the IWGP champion in New Japan Pro-Wrestling once.

He left an indelible legacy on pro wrestling.

Four dead and 29 shot in Chicago weekend violence as leaders tout crime progress

Mon, 08 Jun 2026 18:27:29 +0000

Four people are dead after numerous shootings happened over a span of three days in Chicago.

Fox News Digital compiled police shooting data from the morning of Friday, June 5, through Sunday, June 7, to find that 29 people were shot by suspects with four victims who died as a result of gunfire.

In one of the reports, police say four victims, all between the ages of 12 and 14 years old, were shot when "an unknown offender produced a firearm and opened fire, striking multiple victims before fleeing," police say.

Another report says two unknown shooters "approached a group of people standing outside" and shot at them early Friday morning. A total of seven people were shot and two people died.

On Friday, Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson posted on social media praising a reported drop in homicides in his city on Gun Violence Awareness Day.

The post said in part, "We refuse to accept any level of violence as normal. But we are encouraged, especially on Gun Violence Awareness Day, of the progress Chicago is making in driving down crime. My administration will continue strengthening community violence intervention, coordinated responses to crime, and increased investment in our young people."

While gunfire rang out in Chicago over the weekend, Illinois Democrat Governor JB Pritzker, a member of the wealthy Pritzker family who owns Hyatt Hotels, posted on X his support of Pride Month.

Fox News Digital has reached out to Johnson, Pritzker and Chicago police for comment in regard to the recent gun violence.

Seattle mayor shrugs off millionaire-tax concerns as 44% of business leaders consider leaving

Mon, 08 Jun 2026 18:09:43 +0000

Seattle Mayor Katie Wilson said concerns about wealthy residents and businesses leaving Washington over rising taxes are "overblown" during an interview on Wednesday.

"So today, do you still feel the narrative of the rich leaving is still overblown," FOX 13 Seattle co-anchor Hana Kim asked Wilson.

"So, I still think that claims of a large exodus of rich people due to our statewide millionaire tax that the legislature passed this year are overblown," Wilson responded with a chuckle. "I do believe that."

SEATTLE MAYOR LAUGHS OFF MILLIONAIRES LEAVING WASHINGTON STATE OVER PROGRESSIVE TAXES, WAVES 'BYE'

In March, Washington state Democrats passed the millionaire's tax, a 9.9% income tax for households that make over $1 million a year, which Democratic Gov. Bob Ferguson signed on March 30. It's the state's first-ever income tax, pushed by progressives and opposed by conservatives.

Wilson pushed back, saying that she is building good relationships within the business community.

"When I think about the last five months and the things that I and my administration have done to build bridges with the business community, the narrative that was spun around those things is very, very out of step with the reality."

Wilson said companies like Starbucks, T-Mobile and Microsoft are donating funds toward a 90-unit tiny house village in South Park Cloverleaf to be opened "later this summer."

WHY STARBUCKS PICKED NASHVILLE OVER SEATTLE FOR EXPANSION, ACCORDING TO LOCAL BUSINESS REPORTER

"And so these are all like — so this narrative that it's like Seattle socialist mayor versus Starbucks, like well, then why are they donating a million dollars to our shelter site?" Wilson asked.

"So, you know, the attitude that I have tried to come in with into office toward the business community is, ‘Look, we’re not going to agree on everything,' right," she said.

A recent survey by the Association of Washington Business reported on by The Center Square found that 44% of business leaders said they are considering moving their personal residence out of state, with businesses also saying they are now more than twice as likely to expand outside of Washington than within it.

Robot pets with AI could soon live with you

Mon, 08 Jun 2026 18:00:01 +0000

A robot that follows you around the house may sound a little strange at first. Yet Colin Angle, the cofounder of iRobot and one of the people behind Roomba, is betting that the next big home robot may feel less like a machine and more like a companion.

His new company, Familiar Machines & Magic, has revealed its first robot concept called a Familiar. It is a pet-inspired, emotionally aware home robot designed to live with you, learn your routines and support healthier habits. "The next era of robotics is not just about dexterity or humanoid form. It is about machines that can build and sustain human connection," Angle said.

That may sound great to some of you, and others not so much. Whatever your take, it raises some important questions too. Do you really want an AI-powered companion roaming around your home 24/7? Can a robot provide comfort without creating dependency? And will privacy hold up when a device can see, hear and remember what happens around you? Let's take a closer look.

AI HUMANOID ROBOT LEARNS TO MIMIC HUMAN EMOTIONS AND BEHAVIOR

A Familiar is a physically embodied AI robot built for human interaction. Unlike a chatbot on your phone, this robot has a body. It can move, react and express itself through animal-inspired behaviors.

The first version is a four-legged robot with a soft, touch-sensitive coat. It uses cameras, microphones, speakers and onboard AI to respond to people in real time. The company says it can read facial expressions, tone of voice and body language.

So, if you smile, it may tilt its head. If you seem stressed, it may nuzzle you. If you get excited, it may wiggle its tail. The goal is to build a warm presence that feels natural in your home. Familiar Machines & Magic says the robot is designed to support people through daily life rather than perform one simple task.

Most home robots have focused on chores. Roomba vacuumed your floors. Other robots promised security patrols, video calls or entertainment. Familiar is doing something different. It is built to support your daily routines and respond to how you are feeling.

The company describes it as a companion that can encourage better habits. For example, it may notice that you have been doomscrolling and give you a gentle nudge. It could encourage movement, help engage kids in screen-free play or offer a non-judgmental presence when you need to vent. That makes the robot feel more like a pet than a device. Still, the company says it is meant to supplement your life, not replace people or real animals.

A WHEELED ROBOT MAY BEAT HUMANOIDS INTO YOUR HOME

The Familiar is designed to build memory over time. The more you interact with it, the more distinct its personality may become. That could mean it learns when your household eats dinner, when you usually relax or when you tend to fall into habits you want to break. Then it can react in small physical ways.

Instead of barking orders, it may use movement, sound and expression. A paw tap could remind you to move. A gentle approach could signal that it wants attention. A scared reaction could warn you if it senses an unsafe situation, such as being placed near heat.

This is where the idea gets interesting. The robot does not need to speak to communicate. In fact, Familiar Machines & Magic says the first Familiar currently does not talk. That restraint may be smart. A robot that acts through gestures may feel less intrusive than one that constantly chats.

Colin Angle helped turn consumer robotics into a real business with iRobot. That gives this project extra weight because many social robots have come and gone without lasting success.

Robots such as Jibo, Anki's Vector and other home companions generated excitement, but many struggled to keep people engaged after the novelty wore off.

Familiar Machines & Magic seems aware of that challenge. The company says the robot must build a long-term connection rather than offer a flashy demo. In other words, cuteness alone will not carry it. A Familiar has to keep earning its place in your home.

HOME ROBOT COOKS, CLEANS AND ORGANIZES YOUR LIFE

A robot that sees and hears what happens inside your home naturally raises privacy questions. Familiar Machines & Magic says its AI runs on the device, so your private data does not need to stream constantly to the cloud.

The company also says data is stored on the robot, and you decide when it gets shared with the cloud. The robot should still work if you disconnect it from the internet, although you may miss out on new features.

That is the kind of privacy setup you want to see with a home robot. Still, you should read the fine print before bringing one into your house. Look for clear answers on what it records, how long it keeps that data, who can access it and how you can delete it.

A Familiar could make sense for people who want a little extra support at home without adding another screen to the mix. Parents may use it to help pull kids into screen-free play. Someone living alone could feel a little more company in the house. Older adults may eventually get help with reminders, routines and companionship.

That last part could be where this type of robot really proves itself. It could gently encourage daily habits, check in through movement and sound and stay out of the way when needed. For homes where people want support without feeling watched or managed, that balance could make a real difference.

NEW MOBILE ROBOT HELPS SENIORS WALK SAFELY AND PREVENT FALLS

Familiar Machines & Magic has not announced a price or release date yet. The company also says this reveal isn’t a commercial product launch.

So, for now, this is more of a first look at where the company is headed. The real test will come when people can actually bring one home. Can it move safely around a busy house? Will people still use it after the first week? Will the privacy controls be clear enough? And will the price make sense for families?

Those are the questions that will determine whether Familiar becomes something people truly want in their homes, or something that looks great in a demo but never becomes part of our daily lives.

Familiar is one of the more interesting home robot ideas we have seen in years because it moves beyond chores and into emotional support. That is exciting, but it is also a much harder promise to keep. The Roomba connection gives this project credibility, especially since Colin Angle knows how difficult it is to make robots useful in real homes. Still, Familiar Machines & Magic has to prove this robot can stay helpful after the novelty wears off. If the company can balance usefulness, privacy, safety and emotional connection, Familiar could point to a new future for AI at home.

Would you want an emotionally aware AI robot in your home, or would you rather keep that kind of technology out of your personal space? Let us know by writing to us at CyberGuy.com.

Trump Visit Closes Blocks Around MSG: What to Know About Security at the Knicks Game

Mon, 08 Jun 2026 17:54:34 +0000

With President Trump and Mayor Zohran Mamdani set to attend Monday night’s Knicks game at Madison Square Garden, there will be strict security in Midtown Manhattan.

Stephen A Smith claims Trump has "no business" attending Knicks game at MSG: "It is selfish and narcissistic"

Mon, 08 Jun 2026 17:53:11 +0000

Last week, ESPN commentator Stephen A. Smith begged President Donald Trump not to attend Game 3 of the NBA Finals at Madison Square Garden.

"I don't want him there," Smith said. "It has nothing to do with politics, policy, or anything like that. It has everything to do with him disrupting and contributing at the same time to the chaos that's going to exist at Madison Square Garden."

To Smith's chagrin, Trump didn't listen. The president is expected to attend Monday night's game as the Knicks look to take a 3-0 series lead over the San Antonio Spurs.

Smith addressed Trump's attendance again on "First Take" Monday morning.

STEPHEN A SMITH BEGS TRUMP NOT TO ATTEND NBA FINALS GAME 3 AT MSG: "I DON'T WANT HIM THERE"

"This president has no business showing up in New York City. I am dead serious. It is selfish. It is narcissistic. It is ridiculous that he is coming to this game," Smith exclaimed.

He then reiterated that his stance has nothing to do with politics.

"I would say the same thing if it were Obama, George W., or Clinton. I don't give a damn if we went back to Reagan."

That's where we disagree.

Smith would not say the same thing if Barack Obama were attending the game. There is plenty of evidence to suggest otherwise. For one, whenever Smith has questioned Black politicians, he has often followed up with a series of apologies.

Last year, he apologized to Kamala Harris and Michelle Obama simply for criticizing Rep. Jasmine Crockett, a fellow Black woman.

"Would Stephen A. have had the same take if Obama had come to an NBA Finals game?" OutKick founder Clay Travis asked on X. "I think there's a 0% chance."

"He's the world's highest-paid buffoon," OutKick host Dan Dakich added.

VICTOR WEMBANYAMA CROSSING HIS ARMS DURING U.S. NATIONAL ANTHEM IS A PROBLEM FOR THE NBA | BOBBY BURACK

Further, Smith has spent the past nine months teasing a potential run for the White House. Are we really supposed to believe that if he became president, a possibility he claims is real, he wouldn't attend NBA Finals games if given the opportunity? Of course not.

And while Trump's attendance will result in heightened security, even NBA Commissioner Adam Silver views it as a positive.

"We're seeing that in New York, and I think President Trump is very much a New Yorker, and I'm thrilled that yet another New Yorker wants to participate in the enthusiasm and the joy around this Knicks team," Silver said last week.

Speaking of people who try to make a major sporting event about themselves, here's Stephen A. Smith ringside at WrestleMania last April:

It's also worth noting that Smith appears to believe he is important enough to influence Trump's decision-making.

These on-air pleas for the president to stay away reek of someone who genuinely believes his opinions should carry that level of weight.

Based on Trump's plans to attend Game 3, they don't.

Siren's Curse roller coaster strands riders vertically twice in one weekend at Six Flags Cedar Point

Mon, 08 Jun 2026 17:52:38 +0000

The tallest, fastest and longest tilt roller coaster in North America got stuck twice over the weekend in a vertical position, leaving riders temporarily suspended.

Siren’s Curse, located at Six Flags Cedar Point in Sandusky, Ohio, experienced separate technical delays on Saturday and Sunday, Fox 8 reported.

"On Saturday and Sunday, the coaster experienced technical delays (similar to a check-engine light) that paused its operation," a park spokesperson told WKYC-TV. "Its safety system performed as designed, keeping all guests safe. Following a complete systems check, the ride was restarted and guests continued their ride as normal."

AMERICA'S 250TH ANNIVERSARY SPARKS TRAVEL RUSH AS EXPERTS ISSUE URGENT BOOKING WARNING

The park reiterated to Fox 8 that the automated safety system had simply detected a condition that required a pause for inspection.

NEW HOTELS FOR FAMILY-FRIENDLY TRAVEL IN AMERICA, FROM FLORIDA TO TENNESSEE AND MORE

After crews completed a systems check following each delay, the attraction was reopened to guests shortly after. Fox News Digital has reached out to Cedar Point for further comment.

Described by the park as a record-breaking attraction, Siren's Curse tilts riders at a 90-degree angle, holding them vertically as the track locks into place before the first drop.

The ride originally opened at Cedar Point in June 2025. On its very first day of operation, it experienced a similar glitch, leaving riders suspended vertically for about 10 minutes, according to local reports.

You're not getting away with watering your grass with your 'crank' out on Sheriff Grady Judd's watch

Mon, 08 Jun 2026 17:33:04 +0000

Don’t let his hilarious press conferences and viral videos fool you, Sheriff Grady Judd doesn’t play around when it comes to crime. If you break the law, he’s coming after you.

A 79-year-old Florida man is the latest to learn that lesson. According to the sheriff, the man was caught watering his lawn with his hose in one hand and his "crank" in the other.

That’s not going to be permitted whether you live on Sunny Wood Circle, as the elderly man does, or not. To make the situation worse, he allegedly had said "crank" out in view of two teenage girls.

MAN ARRESTED IN THE EARLY MORNING HOURS FOR GOING PANTS DOWN AND 'CHIMICHANGA OUT' NEAR FLORIDA TACO BELL

Gary Golter, the alleged double-fisted grass waterer, was arrested last week and charged with vulgar indecent public nudity and lewd and lascivious exhibition, reports FOX 4.

Here’s Sheriff Judd breaking the arrest and the accusations down as only he can. He said, "I want to point out that this event happened at the suspect’s house on Sunny Wood Circle."

"This is Gary Golter. It was sunny, and he was watering his grass with a hose in his right hand, and he had his crank in his left hand," he continued as he shared a short clip of the incident.

"I don't even know how to say this, but he was doing this in front of 16-year-old and 13-year-old girls, and we don't like it. So, we arrested him."

Again, not on Sheriff Grady Judd’s watch. He’s not going for any sunny wood while watering your yard. He doesn’t want anyone, let alone a couple of teenagers, to have to see that. Nobody does.

You're going to get arrested and have a play-by-play of the incident show up on one of the sheriff's morning briefs. You don't want that. Keep your crank in your pants while you're outside watering the lawn.

FCC chair Brendan Carr rips Scott Pelley as ‘completely out of touch’ after CBS firing

Mon, 08 Jun 2026 17:15:54 +0000

FCC Chairman Brendan Carr slammed former "60 Minutes" correspondent Scott Pelley on Sunday after Pelley said he did not expect to be fired from CBS News following a heated clash with the program's new leadership.

Carr responded to Pelley's remarks in a post on X, where he argued the longtime CBS journalist's reaction reflected a broader problem inside legacy media.

"One of the reasons why trust in media is so low is because many legacy journalists are completely out of touch," Carr said.

He also said Pelley’s conduct would not be tolerated in a typical workplace.

"You could not get away with that behavior at any run of the mill job," Carr said. "It is revealing to see how blind some are to that."

Pelley was fired after 37 years at CBS News, where he served as a White House correspondent, anchor of the "CBS Evening News" and correspondent for "60 Minutes."

In an interview with The New York Times, Pelley said he did not believe he was walking into a termination meeting after his confrontation with new "60 Minutes" executive producer Nick Bilton.

"Oh gosh, furthest thing from my mind," Pelley said. "It hadn’t occurred to me."

Pelley acknowledged that the meeting with Bilton had been tense, but he defended the tone of his questioning by pointing to the program’s history.

"‘60 Minutes’ is known for two things: a ticking stopwatch and hard questions," he said.

Pelley said the confrontation came after senior staffers and several correspondents were dismissed, and after Bilton was introduced to the newsroom as the program's new executive producer.

"No one saw the Black Thursday massacre coming," Pelley said.

Pelley said he was angered by Bilton’s introductory email to the staff and by the way Bilton addressed employees after the dismissals.

"It betrayed the fact that Nick Bilton didn’t know anything about us, didn’t know anything about our culture, and yet was being imposed on us as our new leader," Pelley said.

Pelley also criticized CBS News editor-in-chief Bari Weiss, who was installed under new ownership after David Ellison's acquisition of Paramount.

"She’s a lovely person," Pelley said. "And her Free Press organization that she founded has been very successful. But television’s not her thing."

Pelley accused Weiss of pushing editorial changes on a politically sensitive "60 Minutes" story involving protests and an immigration enforcement shooting in Minneapolis.

He said he believed the requested changes would have favored President Donald Trump's view of the events.

"There was a thumb on the scale for the president’s version of events that I felt was a level of political influence that I had never seen in 37 years at CBS News," Pelley said.

CBS News denied that Weiss acted with political motivation, saying her editorial notes were intended to make the piece "as strong, fair, and accurate as possible."

2026 NBA Finals Game 3: San Antonio Spurs at New York Knicks best bets for the total and two player props

Mon, 08 Jun 2026 17:11:52 +0000

The New York Knicks (2-0) are two wins from their first championship since 1973 as they host the San Antonio Spurs (0-2) for Game 3 of the 2026 NBA Finals Monday.

This is a burn-the-boats game for San Antonio since no team has ever come back from a 3-0 deficit to win an NBA playoff series. New York grabbed home-court advantage for the finals by winning the series opener, 105-95.

Then, the Spurs gave away Game 2 despite getting a "good whistle" from the refs all night and holding Jalen Brunson to an inefficient 20 points on 7-for-25 shooting.

NBA RESCINDS MITCHELL ROBINSON'S TECHNICAL FOUL FROM GAME 2 OF FINALS AFTER REVIEWING SHOVING MATCH

At FanDuel, the Knicks are cheap -2.5 favorites and -130 on the moneyline for Game 3 with a 216.5 total (Over -105, Under -115) as of 11 a.m. ET Monday.

For all the haters down in the comment section, I'm on an absolute heater in the 2026 NBA Playoffs. I'm 46-23 with a +28.7% return on investment and up 20.65 units.

Without further ado, let's discuss my three looks in Spurs-Knicks Game 3, including two player props and a bet for the total.

These are the best odds from the legal U.S. sportsbooks available at the time of writing.

Even though I cashed on fading the zigzag for Game 2 by betting the Under, I'm reversing course on one of my angles, which is the pace slowing down as the series progresses.

Game 1's pace increased from 97.2 to 99.9 in the next game. For perspective, 99.9 is tied with the Minnesota Timberwolves for the fastest pace in this postseason.

VICTOR WEMBANYAMA ADMITS TO HARSH TRUTHS AFTER COSTLY MISTAKE AT END OF NBA FINALS GAME

That said, I have a hunch the Spurs will speed the game up again Monday out of desperation because they know they can't out-execute the Knicks in the half-court, and pace is the most important thing for betting totals.

Per CleaningTheGlass.com, San Antonio is third in fastbreak frequency in these playoffs. The Spurs are young and athletic and should want to play faster, so it's easier for them to get into their offense and avoid overthinking.

New York will welcome a quicker pace because they are the more skilled team and should outscore San Antonio in a larger sample size. The Knicks have more synergy, continuity and shooters.

Also, NYK scored five more points per game (PPG) at home during the regular season, and the Spurs are 8-1 to the Over on the road this postseason and have gone Over the total by an average of 11.4 PPG.

_____________________________

Jalen Brunson had a quintessential fourth quarter in New York's Game 1 win. Knicks wing Josh Hart had the greatest three-point game ever, filling up the box score with 15 rebounds, 6 assists and 4 steals in Game 1.

NYC CANCELS KNICKS NBA FINALS WATCH PARTY OVER TRUMP VISIT AS MSG FIRES BACK

Karl-Anthony Towns has outplayed Victor Wembanyama through the first two games and should be the betting favorite to win the 2026 NBA Finals MVP. New York wing Mikal Bridges shot the lights out in Game 2.

With that in mind, Anunoby is due for his moment in the NBA Finals, and I'm literally betting he has it Monday. OG has scored 16+ points in 11 of his 14 games in these playoffs, including 17 in each of the first two games of this series.

Anunoby has been on fire since March. He averaged 17.8 PPG on 50.8% from the field and 43.4% from behind the arc from March 1 until the end of the regular season. OG is scoring 19.3 PPG in the postseason on 56.0% shooting and 47.8% from 3-point range.

Stunningly low percentage of adults in US think America stands above every other nation: poll

Mon, 08 Jun 2026 17:11:11 +0000

As Americans mark the nation's 250th anniversary this year, a survey of adults in the U.S. found that just 25% felt that the country stands above every other nation on the globe, while 44% think that the U.S. is just one of the greatest nations, among some others.

A whopping 30% in the Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research poll thought that there are other nations better than the U.S.

Only 34% believed that the ideal of the American dream, that hard work will enable someone to move ahead in life, remains true. But 51% felt that the American dream is now a relic of the past that once held true but no longer does. And 15% felt that the idea was never true.

THE STATES REVEALED AS BEST TO START A FAMILY AMID CRATERING BELIEF IN THE AMERICAN DREAM

Views varied significantly among people with different political leanings, with 57% on the GOP side of the aisle believing that the American dream remains intact, while just 17% of those on the Democratic side of the aisle felt that way, the AP reported.

The poll found President Donald Trump's approval rating deep underwater at just 33%, versus 67% disapproval — while 17% strongly approved and 16% somewhat approved, 49% strongly disapproved and 17% somewhat disapproved.

A huge 70% disapproved of his handling of the economy, while just 30% approved.

FOX NEWS POLL: 'RESILIENT DISCONTENT' DEFINES THE US MOOD AT 250TH ANNIVERSARY

The survey was conducted between April 16-20, 2026. Participating adults were aged 18 and up, and represented all 50 states plus Washington, D.C. A total of 2,596 people completed the survey—2,461 online and 135 by phone, the poll data noted.

"The overall margin of sampling error is +/-2.6 percentage points at the 95 percent confidence level, including the design effect," the poll stated.

The margin of sampling error for Republicans, including GOP leaners, was +/-4.3 percentage points, while the figure for Democrats, with leaners included, was +/- 3.8 percentage points, the survey said.

SEE IT: Maine voters sound off on Platner's divisive campaign as crucial primary nears: 'He's a disgrace'

Mon, 08 Jun 2026 17:03:40 +0000

PORTLAND, Maine — Voters in Maine are just one day away from deciding which Democrat they want to represent them in the U.S. Senate, and residents who spoke to Fox News are mixed on whether Graham Platner's swirling controversies disqualify him from seeking the office.

"He's a disgrace to every veteran that has PTSD like I do, because he's using it as an excuse to cover up his own personal failings," Bill, a Peaks Island resident and military veteran, told Fox News, referencing Platner leaning into his PTSD struggles as a combat veteran.

"You do not abuse women because you were in combat. You do not say things about trans people. You do not wear Nazi symbols because you were in combat. That is because of who you are," Bill said. "He's a little bitty, well-to-do guy hiding behind his status as a veteran and not acknowledging himself as a failed human being."

WATCH: MAINE VOTERS DIVIDED ON PLATNER AS SCANDALS SHADOW DEMOCRATIC PRIMARY

As the primary nears, Platner is facing criticism from both the left and the right over allegations of abuse from former girlfriends, sexually explicit messages allegedly sent to women during the early days of his marriage, a Nazi-linked tattoo and online comments mocking a Purple Heart veteran.

Mike, a Maine voter, said Platner's tattoo made his decision a "no-brainer," saying it was difficult to believe the candidate did not know the Totenkopf symbol on his chest had been used by Nazi death camp guards.

"Nothing good about him," Mike said. "Anybody with a Nazi tattoo, and it's not a Bugs Bunny tattoo, okay? It's like, 'Oh my God, I got a tattoo, I didn't know what it was.' If he was honest about it, and said, 'Hey, it was a mistake. I got a Nazi tattoo, and it's stupid. I was drunk and I was in the service,' then maybe that's one thing. But at that point, it's a no-brainer for me."

DEMOCRATIC MAINE SENATE CANDIDATE GRAHAM PLATNER CONFRONTED BY MS NOW HOST ABOUT TATTOO CONTROVERSY

When asked if Democrats should drop Platner, Mike said, "Of course they should," adding that Democrats are standing by Platner because they see him as their best chance to unseat Sen. Susan Collins.

"I mean, it's like they're locked in now. This has nothing to do with being a Democrat or Republican. They want to get rid of Susan Collins, take over the Senate, and that's the bottom line. He could be Adolf Hitler. It doesn't matter who he is. It's just the fact that they want to take over the Senate, and that's their only option right now."

Karen, a Rockland resident, also questioned whether Platner's scandals should be overlooked, saying they reflect on his character.

"I think it's crazy," Karen said. "I think there's a lot of things about him that people should understand. They say, 'Oh, it's personal,' but then that also indicates his character."

Other Mainers who spoke to Fox News struck a different tone, including Holly, a Belfast resident.

"Nobody's perfect. Everyone makes mistakes," Holly said. "He's apologized for the mistakes he's made, and he's taken action about it. If you listen to what he's about in terms of policy, he is very much saying the right things for Maine and the right thing for the country more broadly, and I think he's a very good candidate."

GRAHAM PLATNER BLASTS NEW ALLEGATIONS AS 'FALSE ACCUSATIONS': 'MAINE, YOU HAVE MY BACK'

Claire, a Brooklin resident, said voters should focus less on Platner's past and more on his candidacy, saying, "He's the best candidate by far, and probing into the minutiae of his personal relationships when you don't do that for any other candidate is ridiculous."

One voter argued that working-class candidates should not be expected to have spotless records.

"If we want folks who are representing us from the working class, they're not necessarily going to have a groomed and perfect political record coming into politics," Paul, a Bar Harbor resident, said.

Kathy, a Rockland resident, said she was willing to look past Platner's "baggage," saying "He's got new ideas, and he's saying things for the people and about the people."

Platner, widely believed to be the presumptive Democratic nominee for Senate, heads into a Tuesday night primary election where Democratic Gov. Janet Mills and former senior government official David Costello are on the ballot.

If victorious, Platner will square off against incumbent Republican Sen. Susan Collins in November.
