Trump rips news organizations over polling: 'These people should be investigated'

President Trump tore into a number of leading news organizations over polling conducted in recent days showing his favorability with voters dipping.

"These people should be investigated for ELECTION FRAUD," Trump wrote, mentioning polling from The New York Times, The Washington Post, ABC and Fox News in a post on his Truth Social website. "They are Negative Criminals who apologize to their subscribers and readers after I WIN ELECTIONS BIG, much bigger than their polls showed I would win, loose a lot of credibility, and then go on cheating and lying for the next cycle, only worse."

As the president approaches his 100th day in office Tuesday, a number of major polls have found his approval rating underwater and favorability with American voters slipping.

The Times, for example, noted in an article Friday that Trump's approval rating stands at 42 percent, "historically low for a president this early in a term."

Trump accused major pollsters and top media outlets of suffering "from Trump Derangement Syndrome, and there is nothing that anyone, or anything, can do about it."

"THEY ARE SICK, almost only write negative stories about me no matter how well I am doing," he continued.

Trump has ridiculed mainstream media outlets for years, and his administration has sought during his first 100 days to elevate conservative or "new media" members in the West Wing in favor of traditional legacy media outlets.

Trump, who has a history of attacking pollsters, sued The Des Moines Register and pollster J. Ann Selzer late last year over a survey released before Election Day indicating former Vice President Kamala Harris had a sizable lead in Iowa.
