President Donald Trump pushed back Sunday against a Fox News poll showing he’d lose to any of the top Democratic candidates in the 2020 election.

President Donald Trump pushed back Sunday against a Fox News poll showing he’d lose to any of the top Democratic candidates in the 2020 election.

“There’s something going on at Fox, I”ll tell you right now, and I’m not happy with it,” the president told reporters at Morristown Airport in New Jersey, as he traveled back to the White House from his golf resort.



The poll, released Friday, indicated Trump would fall in a general election against former Vice President Joe Biden, Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), or Sen. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.). Trump’s margin of defeat ranged from 12 points against Biden to 6 points against Harris.

“I don’t believe it,” Trump said of the poll, according to a transcript released Sunday.

The U.S. leader, who has often treated Fox News as his go-to outlet, complained that his worst poll numbers have come from Fox.

We've even heard and seen them slip a couple of times.

He purses his lips when he talks to keep those things from flying right out of his mouth.

Trump does not strike me as the type who has any patience for tooth brushing, flossing, or dentist visits in general.

He probably has a dentist on retainer who will write him prescriptions and provide him reports that he has the most perfect teeth of anyone ever.

If feels really emotionally good to see hopeful news. But if 2016, when Trumps predicted change of winning on Election eve was minuscule, is that polls don't matter. No just now that it is early. But ever.

Whether the polls were just wrong, or election interference made the difference, or any other reason, the fact is polls are wrong just as often as they are right.

This isn't meant to be discouraging. It's about VIGILANCE.

Less than 2 weeks before the election. The shift in the polls got it close enough to steal.

is calling the poll results Fake News!

But according to Buttercup, everything that is real, is also fake. Only Good Things about him are real.

The man is unbelievable! Others would look at low poll numbers and wonder what to do about them, Trump just rejects them outright.
