Fox News’ latest nonpartisan poll numbers on Donald Trump’s possible impeachment has the president enraged and calling out his favorite news channel on Twitter.
President Trump sent out a pair of tweets Thursday aimed at a new Fox News poll that found a majority of Americans in support of him being impeached and removed from office.
“From the day I announced I was running for President, I have NEVER had a good @FoxNews Poll,” Trump tweeted. “Whoever their Pollster is, they suck.”
From the day I announced I was running for President, I have NEVER had a good @FoxNews Poll. Whoever their Pollster is, they suck. But @FoxNews is also much different than it used to be in the good old days. With people like Andrew Napolitano, who wanted to be a Supreme….

The tweet came as a surprise when considering how the network is known for being proud cheerleaders of the controversial president, most notably primetime hosts Sean Hannity and Tucker Carlson. However, the Fox News polling unit has a reputation of being nonpartisan, Yahoo News reports.

But, Trump continued his rant against Fox News by singling out on-air personalities who have dared to criticize him.
“[Fox News] is also much different than it used to be in the good old days,” Trump fumed. “With people like Andrew Napolitano, who wanted to be a Supreme Court Justice & I turned him down (he’s been terrible ever since), Shep Smith, @donnabrazile (who gave Crooked Hillary the debate questions & got fired from @CNN), & others, @FoxNews doesn’t deliver for US anymore. It is so different than it used to be. Oh well, I’m President!”

This is the second time within a few months that Trump has taken aim at Fox News. In August, Trump responded to reporters after Fox News polling data showed him trailing four potential Democratic opponents in the 2020 presidential race.
“There’s something going on at Fox,” Trump told reporters. “And I tell you I’m not happy with it.”
Trump’s latest Twitter rant came one day after Fox News shared survey results that found 51 percent of registered voters support his impeachment and removal from office, a record high for the network’s survey.
The results on Fox are similar to those of other recent national polls that show growing support for Trump’s possible impeachment, Yahoo News reports.
