“Fox & Friends” is one of the shows former President Donald Trump would frequent, but now the Fox News program is on the receiving end of criticism.
Trump lashed out on Monday for the show allegedly “botching” his poll numbers in an early morning segment that said it was “no doubt on purpose.” He called the show on which he was once a regular contributor “terrible” and said they have gone to the “dark side.”
“@foxandfriends just really botched my poll numbers, no doubt on purpose. That show has been terrible – gone to the “dark side.” They quickly quote the big Turning Point Poll victory of almost 60 points over the number two Republican, and then hammer me with outliers,” Trump said on Truth Social, per Mediaite.
“Actually, almost all polls have me leading all Republicans & Biden BY A LOT. RINO Paul Ryan, one of the weakest and worst Speakers EVER, must be running the place. Anyway, thank you to Turning Point; the crowd & “love” was AMAZING!”
“Fox & Friends” reported on a straw poll completed over the weekend at the Talking Points USA conference in Tampa, where Trump spoke on Saturday. Trump got 79% support of those that responded, but a co-host pointed out that it’s a very slim portion of the Republican party.
“Keep in mind, Turning Point, a group of young Republican conservative activists from all across the country. So, you have got people from all across the country convening in Tampa,” co-host Steve Doocy said.
“I’m thinking about that is a little different than a couple of other polls that we have seen over the last couple of weeks two. Weeks ago in Florida Blueprint polling did a poll, DeSantis leads the former president in all age groupings.”
