President Donald Trump came out swinging Monday on Truth Social, torching the “fake polls” released by The New York Times, ABC/Washington Post, and Fox News and exposing the establishment media’s relentless campaign to demoralize him and his America First agenda, and suggested they should be investigated for “ELECTION FRAUD.”
Calling out the “FAKE POLLS FROM FAKE NEWS ORGANIZATIONS,” President Trump pointed to polling numbers that dramatically understate his real support among voters.
“The Polls from the Fake News are, like the News itself, FAKE! We are doing GREAT, better than ever before,” Trump wrote on Truth Social.
Trump’s tirade was prompted by a string of recent polls from these same fake news outlets that painted a dire and false picture of his standing.
The New York Times/Siena poll, for example, pegged his approval rating at around 42%, and an ABC News/Washington Post survey went even lower at 39% – allegedly the lowest 100-day approval of any president since World War II.
The Fox News survey also noted 44% approval, down from previous months.
Trump pointed to renowned pollster John McLaughlin — “one of the most highly respected in the industry,” according to Trump — who flagged serious red flags in the media polls’ methodology.
“When President Trump received 50 percent of the popular vote, but The New York Times includes only 37 percent of his voters in their poll and ABC/Washington Post has only 34 percent Trump supporters, it seems that they deliberately biased their polls against President Trump,” McLaughlin told Newsweek.
