Amid Fallout From Minneapolis Shooting, Trump Again Attacks His Poor Poll Results: "Fraudulent," "Should Be A Criminal O

Offense”

As his administration struggles to deal with the fallout from the latest Minneapolis shooting, Donald Trump has gone back to raging about polls.

Even before a federal agent shot and killed Alex Pretti, Trump’s support on one of his key issues, immigration, was falling and in negative territory in a number of surveys.

Trump posted on Truth Social, “Fake and Fraudulent Polling should be, virtually, a criminal offense. As an example, all of the Anti Trump Media that covered me during the 2020 Election showed Polls that were knowingly wrong. They knew what they were doing, trying to influence the Election, but I won in a Landslide, including winning the Popular Vote, all 7 of the 7 Swing States, the Electoral College was a route, and 2,750 Counties to 525. You can’t do much better than that, and yet if people examined The Failing New York Times, ABC Fake News, NBC Fake News, CBS Fake News, Low Ratings CNN, or the now defunct MSDNC, Polls were all fraudulent, and bore nothing even close to the final results.”

Trump appeared to be referencing not the 2020 election, which he lost, but the 2024 election. In the latter, many polls showed the race very close, and within the margin of error, up until the end. Some post-election analyses showed that pollsters underestimated support for Trump, but not by much.
