President Donald Trump declared that The New York Times must “pay a price” on Thursday after the Gray Lady and Siena University released a new poll suggesting that just 40% of registered voters approve of him.
In a write-up about the survey, the Times’ chief political analyst Nate Cohn observed that “The major demographic shifts of the last election have snapped back. In today’s poll, Mr. Trump’s approval rating by demographic group looks almost exactly as it did in Times/Siena polling in the run-up to his defeat in the 2020 presidential election. If anything, young and nonwhite voters are even likelier to disapprove of Mr. Trump than they were then, while he retains most of his support among older and white voters.”
“Voters have an unfavorable view of Mr. Trump’s performance on almost every issue tested in the poll, including his handling of immigration and the economy and his approach to Russia, Israel, and other foreign relations,” noted Cohn.
Trump did not take kindly to those results.
In his first Truth Social post about them, he declared that “The Times Siena Poll, which is always tremendously negative to me, especially just before the Election of 2024, where I won in a Landslide, will be added to my lawsuit against The Failing New York Times.”
“Our lawyers have demanded that they keep all Records, and how they ‘computed’ these fake results — Not just the fact that it was heavily skewed toward Democrats. They will be held fully responsible for all of their Radical Left lies and wrongdoing!” he added.
In second and third posts about the matter, the president escalated the matter even further, going so far as to suggest that publishing “Fake” polling ought to be a “criminal offense.”
Read the full text of Trump’s posts below:
Something has to be done about Fake Polls! They are truly OUT OF CONTROL. We have the Greatest Economy in the History of our Country, we have the Strongest Border in History, nobody has ever done a job like I have done, and they have me in the low 40s. The Democrats destroyed Healthcare, I’m trying to fix it, and they give me FAKE low numbers. Fake Polls on the Economy, on the Border, on just about everything, are ridiculous and dangerous. The REAL Polls have been GREAT, but they refuse to print them. This is no different than a writer who is corrupt, of which there are many. The New York Times, and so many others, print Polls that are knowingly false. They have become deranged, and sick. They suffer from a major case of TRUMP DERANGEMENT SYNDROME (TDS). Their 2024 Election coverage was so bad, and so wrong, and yet they never get called out for it — But I am calling them out with the lawsuit that I have filed which is making its way through the Courts. They have to pay a price for FAKE AND FRAUDULENT NEWS and, hopefully, in the not too distant future, they will!
***
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. Something has to be done about Fraudulent Polling. Even the Polls of FoxNews and The Wall Street Journal have been, over the years, terrible! There are great Pollsters that called the Election right, but the Media does not want to use them in any way, shape, or form. Isn’t it sad what has happened to American Journalism, but I am going to do everything possible to keep this Polling SCAM from moving forward!

New York Times is fake news.
Who wrote that headline?
Trump shows anger and impatience over the unrelenting TDS of the Times.
Who, other than hopeful for failure for Trump voters would pay attention to the NYT?
If they polled their shrinking readership, I am sure they got these numbers.
New York Slimes.
“””New York Slimes.”””
But they are the paper of record and stuff. It must be true.
Why does he even believe what NYT has to say? He should know better by know.
I wish him good fortune, but I'd be surprised if anything will change.
Trump focusing on the midterms will accomplish more for him than blustering.
Trump will get good press from a Siena poll when Siena makes the NCAA basketball tournament.
“Trump shows anger and impatience” repeatedly and to no effect.
It’s not necessary to respond to every irritant. Every sentient human being already knows that President Trump detests the Times. This threat of a lawsuit will come to nothing, and it won’t even rally his supporters since they already share his view.
“I pay the New York Times $19 Million a year in federal subsidies, and all I got was this lousy tee-shirt”
A couple of weeks before the last election the left released a poll saying Trump was way down in Idaho. He won the state in a landslide.
Even if the poll is correct and lets pretend it is, WHO CARES..40 percent isnt even bad at all, considering he gets 99.9 percent negative coverage every single day..and did you all hear today’s news about the GDP, the more people experience a good economy the poll numbers will improve
A massive winter storm arrives tomorrow.
IF power outages are as widespread as predicted FEMA should go front and center to reassure the public this administration is paying attention and can walk and chew gum @same time.
Yes, these are state problems but optics matter.
The NYT does not get federal subsidies.
Hes focusing on the economy….. that IS the midterms
Like ‘em or not, their readership is growing, not shrinking.
I wish he paid attention to Churchill’s advice on politics.
Churchill: “You will never reach your destination if you stop and throw a stone at every dog that barks.”
