We posted THAT poll here….
I wondered how he would react to the poll…Even from Fox….
President Trump renewed his attacks on Fox News, complaining that the network’s pollsters weren’t favorable enough to him, Politicoreports.
“The poll he appears to be referencing shows the president losing a handful of hypothetical matchups against 2020 frontrunners. The national survey found that Trump would lose to Joe Biden by 10 points, and to Sen. Bernie Sanders by 6 points. It showed him beating both Sens. Elizabeth Warren and Kamala Harris, though, by a slim 1-point margin, within the poll’s margin of error.”
Philip Bump: “Now, we will hasten to point out that Trump’s objection to Fox News polling is possibly largely due to the fact that they’re good polls. Fox’s on-air programming is often heavily weighted in Trump’s favor, but their polling isn’t.”
Trump treats FoxNews like essentially an PR adjunct of his Administration .
Many think it is.
But some at Fox DO bite the hand that feeds it…..
Michael Barone, co editor of the Almanac of American Politics ,used to run the FoxNews Polls.I don’t not know if he still does.
A conservative,Barone emerged from behind the scenes in 2012 to tell Karl Rove, who steadfastly disputed the FoxNews call that Obama had beaten Romney in Ohio, on the air that such was truly the case.Rove, then reluctantly, bowed to Barones expertise and threw in the towel.
