WASHINGTON: A Fox News poll showing Democratic contender Joe Biden leading President Donald Trump by 8 points heading into the November election ignited fury in the notoriously tetchy incumbent against his favorite TV channel on which he bestows inordinate amount of time and attention.
At a time the United States is passing through an unprecedented health crisis and economic distress, Trump shot off nearly a dozen tweets and retweets on polls and polling accusing Fox News, a channel that is for the most part cravenly devoted to him, of “doing nothing to help Republicans, and me get re-elected.” Amid growing politicization of the coronavirus pandemic and its fallout, he also demanded Fox News fire their “fake pollster,” complaining that he had never had a good Fox poll.
.@FoxNews should fire their Fake Pollster. Never had a good Fox Poll! https://t.co/joHfkQwd9L
