US
president Donald Trump has come out to criticize Fox News, the billionaire
business man's favorite TV network after the media giant released new polling
showing that almost 50% of Americans wanted him impeached.
Trump has been embroiled in an impeachment
investigation ever since a whistle blower in September accused the president of
a quid pro quo when he allegedly withheld military aid to Ukraine in order for
the Ukranian government to investigate corruption allegations against the son
of his political rival, Joe Biden.
The polling from Fox News, MSN, and NBC/WSJ
revealed that almost half the country now supports Trump's removal, and were
conducted amid an impeachment inquiry focusing on whether POTUS improperly
encouraged Ukraine to carrying out investigations that would help his political
goals.
A Fox poll conducted in early October showed
that 47 % of Americans didn't want impeachment but the new poll shows 49 percent
favor impeachment .
When
pressmen asked about the new polls outside the White House Sunday, Trump
replied:
'You’re
looking at the wrong polls. I have the real polls. The CNN polls are fake. The
Fox polls have always been lousy. I tell them they ought to get themselves a
new pollster.'
In
the NBC/WSJ poll taken on the same three dates, 49 percent said they wanted
Trump impeached and removed and 46 percent said he should stay.
