Thu May 01 13:40:00 UTC 2025: ## Trump Renews Attacks on Fox News Poll, Calls for Pollster’s Firing
**Washington, D.C.** – President Trump has escalated his attacks on Fox News, demanding the network fire its pollster after the latest survey showed unfavorable results for the former president. This latest outburst follows a pattern of Trump publicly criticizing media outlets whose polling data or coverage he deems unflattering.
Trump’s initial response to the Fox News poll, which mirrored other recent surveys showing declining popularity, was to call for the pollster’s dismissal. He subsequently took to social media, accusing major news organizations of “CHEAT[ing]” with their polling and labeling pollsters as “Negative Criminals,” suggesting they be investigated for “ELECTION FRAUD.”
White House advisor Stephen Miller echoed the president’s sentiments during an appearance on Fox News, directly urging the network to fire its pollster, stating that the White House believes the pollster has “always been wrong” about Trump.
Despite Fox News’ generally accurate polling in recent times, it’s the only outlet to have faced such direct calls for staff dismissal from Trump and the White House. Analysts point to a larger pattern of Trump viewing Fox News as a partisan tool rather than a news organization. Past instances include Trump demanding Fox News limit coverage of Democratic candidates and prevent the airing of Democratic attack ads.
This latest incident highlights Trump’s ongoing perception of Fox News as a Republican entity whose primary function is to advance his political agenda, rather than providing objective news coverage. The repeated calls for the firing of the Fox News pollster underscore this view, raising concerns about the influence political pressure can exert on media outlets.
