Trump Demands Investigations After Humiliating Poll Results [View all]

Faced with record-low approval ratings, President Donald Trump is calling for “FAKE POLLS FROM FAKE NEWS ORGANIZATIONS” to be investigated for fraud.

The latest New York Times/Siena Poll found just 42 percent of registered voters approved of the job Trump is doing, while 54 percent disapproved.

His approval rating was even lower—just 39 percent—in a new poll from ABC News/Washington Post/Ipsos. It was a new low for a president’s first 100 days in office.

“These people should be investigated for ELECTION FRAUD,” Trump wrote on Truth Social in response to the polling numbers. “THEY ARE SICK, almost only write negative stories about me no matter how well I am doing.”

During his diatribe, the president referenced a social media post from the MAGA-friendly polling “expert” John McLaughlin, who pointed out that only 37 percent of the New York Times survey respondents and 34 percent of the ABC poll respondents had voted for Trump.

“Didn’t we win popular vote with 50 percent?” he wrote, tagging Trump’s communications director.

Trump then wrote that, according to McLaughlin, “The Failing New York Times Poll, and the ABC/Washington Post Poll, about a person named DONALD J. TRUMP, ME, are FAKE POLLS FROM FAKE NEWS ORGANIZATIONS.”
