Trump campaign knocks Fox News after polling shows Harris lead in battleground states
Former President Trump's campaign is attacking Fox News after the network released polling this week showing him trailing Vice President Harris in several key battleground states ahead of November.
"It's that time of year again. Fox is releasing atrocious polling," the campaign said in a statement Thursday. "President Trump continues to outperform polling from past cycles."
"President Trump is 10 points ahead of where he was in Arizona at this point in 2020, according to Fox. Likewise, he is running 8 points ahead of his 2020 polling in Nevada and 5 points ahead of his 2020 polling in North Carolina," it added.
The statement was in reference to a poll released Wednesday showing Harris ahead in three of the four key Sun Belt states — Arizona, Georgia and Nevada — and with an overall lead of 1 point. In previous Fox News polls, President Biden was trailing Trump in all of the four states in head-to-head match-ups.
Trump has relentlessly attacked the outlet for months over its coverage of him, though he has regularly appeared for interviews with several of the conservative media giant's top hosts and pundits.
The former president was irate with the network on election night in 2020, over a relatively early race call for Biden in Arizona, which sparked complaints from Trump's close allies directly to Fox's senior leadership.
The GOP nominee has also suggested that he and Harris participate in a debate on Fox News, a pitch the Harris campaign has not agreed to. Instead, the two candidates are expected to go head-to-head Sept. 10 in a debate moderated by ABC News.
