WASHINGTON, Oct. 10 -- Engulfed in an impeachment inquiry, U.S. President Donald Trump on Thursday slammed a new Fox News poll showing over half of U.S. voters surveyed support impeaching and removing him.
Released Wednesday, the poll showed 51 percent of the 1,003 randomly chosen registered voters want Trump to be impeached and removed from office. The result compared to 42 percent in July, before House Democrats launched the impeachment inquiry into Trump in September over the president's alleged inappropriate interactions with Ukraine.
"From the day I announced I was running for President, I have NEVER had a good @FoxNews Poll," the president tweeted with fury. "Whoever their Pollster is, they suck."
Compared to other media outlets, Fox has been viewed by Trump as being friendly to him and the president has oftentimes retweeted Fox's positive reports about him. This time, however, he tweeted: "But @FoxNews is also much different than it used to be in the good old days."
The poll, conducted Oct. 6-8 with a margin of sampling error of plus and minus 3 percentage points, also showed 51 percent of the surveyed consider the Trump administration more corrupt than previous ones, up from September's 46 percent.
A rough transcript of the phone call between Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on July 25 showed the U.S. president asked his Ukrainian counterpart to investigate Joe Biden and his son Hunter Biden. Biden senior is Democratic presidential candidate for the 2020 election and vice president of the United States during former President Barack Obama's administration.
