Trump attacks ‘atrocious’ Fox News poll: ‘Awful track record’

Donald Trump is not happy with Fox News.

The conservative network’s latest polling showed Kamala Harris leading in key states — Nevada (+2), Arizona (+1) and Georgia (+2). Trump, meanwhile, has a 1-point lead in North Carolina, according to the survey. Trump had led in all of these states until Joe Biden dropped out.

“It’s that time of year again,” Trump’s campaign said in a statement entitled “Fox’s Polling Has An Awful Track Record.”

“Fox is releasing atrocious polling.”

It continued:

“A look at polling from this same time period in 2020 shows that Fox was off in North Carolina, Arizona, and Nevada from either 5.3% to 9.7%. [Fox’s only Georgia poll in 2020 was released in June and that one overstated Joe Biden’s support by 1.7%.]

President Trump continues to outperform polling from past cycles. President Trump is 10 points ahead of where he was in Arizona at this point in 2020, according to Fox. Likewise, he is running 8 points ahead of his 2020 polling in Nevada and 5 points ahead of his 2020 polling in North Carolina.

We see the same trend nationwide.

A look at the RealClearPolitics average in Pennsylvania, for example, shows President Trump 6 points ahead of where he was at this point in 2020 and 9.4 points ahead of where he was in 2016.”

Fox News does its polling with Beacon Research (D) and Shaw & Company Research (R), which rank 15th under FiveThirtyEghit’s pollster ratings.

Last month, the former president slammed Fox News for covering Harris’ events and letting the anti-Trump group The Lincoln Project pay for ads on the network.

“Why is FoxNews putting on Crazy Kamala Harris Rallies? Why do they allow the perverts at the failed and disgraced Lincoln Project to advertise on FoxNews? Even Mr. Kellyanne Conway, a man so badly hurt and humiliated by his wife (she must have done some really NASTY things to him, because he is CRAZY!), is advertising on FoxNews. We have to WIN WITHOUT FOX!” Trump posted to his social media site.
