Overview

  • President Trump accused Fox News of biased polling on Truth Social, labeling its surveys 'crooked' and its pollsters 'fake' and 'incompetent'.
  • The latest Fox News poll found 53% approval of his border security policies but showed majorities disapproving his performance on immigration (53%), foreign policy (57%), economy (58%), and inflation (64%), with his overall job approval at 46%.
  • Trump singled out Fox’s use of Democratic pollster Beacon Research and GOP firm Shaw & Company Research as a 'discredited' methodology, criticizing the network for not changing its pollsters.
  • He denied a Wall Street Journal report suggesting he privately approved military plans against Iran, insisting the outlet had no insight into his actual policy decisions.
  • His attack on Fox News polling reflects a longstanding skepticism dating back to 2020, when he challenged state-level forecasts and asserted a history of media bias.
