‘Get yourself a new pollster’: Trump lashes out at unexpected outlet over new poll
President Donald Trump told Fox News that they had the worst polling during an interview with the media outlet Thursday.
The president was interviewed by Fox News' Martha MacCallum on her show "The Story," when she brought up a recent Fox News poll on the state of the economy.
MacCallum asked Trump when Americans could expect to see better numbers in regards to the economy, citing the poll which states that 52% of voters believe the economy is worse under the Trump administration.
"Well, when the factories start opening. I mean, right now we're building them," Trump responded. "And you know, Fox polling, I have to tell you, I've told you before, it's the worst polling I've ever had."
The president when on to say that Fox's polling was also not accurate during the election.
"I mean, during the election, they had me winning by a little bit, not by a by a massive amount, and Fox polling, I've told Rupert Murdoch, go get yourself a new pollster, because he stinks. And this is for years now," he continued.
The Fox News poll further found that the economy is the most important issue to voters, with 37% of voters saying it is the top issue, followed by border security at 13%.
Despite most voters disapproving of Trump's handling of the economy, the poll found that 57% of voters approve of the president's handling of border security.
The poll also found that only 36% of voters approve of Trump's handling of tariffs and 32% for the cost of living.
This is not the first time Trump has publicly called out Fox's polling.
"Rupert Murdoch has told me for years that he is going to get rid of his FoxNews, Trump Hating, Fake Pollster, but he has never done so," the president wrote on Truth Social in April. "This 'pollster' has gotten me, and MAGA, wrong for years. Also, and while he's at it, he should start making changes at the China Loving Wall Street Journal. It sucks!!!"
