Former President Donald Trump recently blasted Fox News over a poll showing President Joe Biden retaking the lead and “protecting democracy” at the top of the list of issues for voters via Mediaite.
It has been noted that news broke Wednesday evening that Biden retook the lead in the Fox News poll for the first time since October of 2023 and earned seven points on Trump since late March and three points since May with 50 percent to Trump’s 48 percent nationally. The top issue for voters in the poll was the “future of American democracy.”
On Thursday, Trump lashed out at Fox News over the poll on his Truth Social account. In a pair of posts, Trump wrote:
The latest Fox News poll is TRASH! They used a biased, Democrat-leaning sample of voters, polling more Biden 2020 voters than Trump 2020 voters to skew the results in favor of Crooked Joe. I am leading BIG in virtually every other poll, including in all of the key battleground states, like Wisconsin, where I just held a massive rally, and Pennsylvania, where I will be on Saturday. Also, the #1 issue in this Country is not protecting democracy. It is INFLATION and IMMIGRATION! If it is protecting democracy, Trump is your best choice, because Crooked Joe Biden is the greatest threat to democracy in history with his Open Border and weaponization of our justice system against his political opponent, ME! Fox News polls have never treated me, or MAGA, fairly! Don’t worry, we will WIN!!! Fox News should get rid of Paul Ryan, and get a new Pollster, but they won’t….
….Real Clear Politics just came out and has me leading by a lot, especially in the all important Swing States. My best numbers yet, despite the Biden “Weaponization of Justice.”
The RCP average has Trump up by half a point. Fox’s pollster is rated 2.8 out of 3 stars by 538.
