Showing Original Post only (View all)LOL! Trump wailing about Fox News poll showing Biden beating him; Team Joe taunts him [View all]
https://www.mediaite.com/trump/trump-ramps-up-attacks-on-fox-news-for-poll-showing-him-down-to-biden-no-way-im-losing/Is President Donald Trumps long-standing love affair with Fox News waning? Judging by Friday morning tweets, hes certainly disgruntled with the network.
Trump has long been an enormous fan of Fox News. He also hasnt hesitated to criticize the network during election seasons, going back to 2016 and his infamous feud with Megyn Kelly.
His latest gripe is a Fox News poll, covered on morning show Fox & Friends, that showed him down to 2020 candidate Joe Biden. Fox News is at it again, Trump said, noting how different their coverage is today compared to 2016 primaries.
Fox & Friends host Brian Kilmeade briefly mentioned the polling watch that moment above noting Biden was up by 10 points. Fox host Pete Hegseth, an informal Trump adviser, dismissed the polling as early in the race.

.@FoxNews is at it again. So different from what they used to be during the 2016 Primaries, & before - Proud Warriors! Now new Fox Polls, which have always been terrible to me (they had me losing BIG to Crooked Hillary), have me down to Sleepy Joe. Even considering.....

....the fact that I have gone through a three year vicious Witch Hunt, perpetrated by the Lamestream Media in Collusion with Crooked and the Democrat Party, there can be NO WAY, with the greatest Economy in U.S. history, that I can be losing to the Sleepy One. KEEP AMERICA GREAT!
Team Biden couldn't let this go without comment:

.@realDonaldTrump, we know you love the polls. We're glad you saw the latest from Fox: Biden 49%, Trump 39. You're losing by ten. Have a nice day.
The second Mediaite article continues:
Also, as a little bonus, Fox Newser Julie Banderas has taken some time to explain to the president how polling works:

That is incorrect. FOX News Opinion Polls are the publics opinion not of @foxnews Interviews are conducted among a random national sample of 1,004 registered voters. 217 Landline and 787 cellphone numbers were randomly selected for inclusion in the survey.
