President Trump tore into a number of leading news organizations over polling conducted in recent days showing his favorability with voters dipping.
"These people should be investigated for ELECTION FRAUD," Trump wrote, mentioning polling from The New York Times, The Washington Post, ABC and Fox News in a post on his Truth Social website. "They are Negative Criminals who apologize to their subscribers and readers after I WIN ELECTIONS BIG, much bigger than their polls showed I would win, loose a lot of credibility, and then go on cheating and lying for the next cycle, only worse."
As the president approaches his 100th day in office Tuesday, a number of major polls have found his approval rating underwater and favorability with American voters slipping.
The Times, for example, noted in an article Friday that Trump's approval rating stands at 42 percent, "historically low for a president this early in a term."
Trump accused major pollsters and top media outlets of suffering "from Trump Derangement Syndrome, and there is nothing that anyone, or anything, can do about it."
"THEY ARE SICK, almost only write negative stories about me no matter how well I am doing," he continued.
Trump has ridiculed mainstream media outlets for years, and his administration has sought during his first 100 days to elevate conservative or "new media" members in the West Wing in favor of traditional legacy media outlets.
Trump, who has a history of attacking pollsters, sued The Des Moines Register and pollster J. Ann Selzer late last year over a survey released before Election Day indicating former Vice President Kamala Harris had a sizable lead in Iowa.

Polls are not elections you dumbass so you can't accuse those media corporations of election fraud.
Win elections big? Stop lying to your self you ignorant old fool. Get Mommy to dry the drool from your chin and go take a nap.
trumpski only wants his water carrying alt-news sycophants broadcasting the white-washed and approved news ...
... maga news, when the truth is inconvenient.
This is gonna be a close race: somebody - courts, media, SOMEBODY - has to step up soon, because the assault on voting rights is massive. If MAGA manages to subvert the midterms... it's OVER!!
And so has the rest of the World..they should start a "most moronic" leaders club..
Heaps of candidates would fit right in....
we're number 1, we're number 1 ...
we have almost four more years of this kind of garbage awaiting us
I've got a bet down with huge odds he won't finish his term ...
Why do you think this? What will happen?
Well seeing he is fast becoming one of the world's most hated leaders he is certainly stacking up the odds against himself...
Someone will roll up that can actually shoot straight is my guess...
... any number of factors, but poor health would be my guess, while internet raging on the shitter at 4am ....
Yeah. That sounds about right...
Everything and everyone is a fraud except his own lies. America isn't fooled this time around. He is enacting his revenge tour of office and now it's hitting his supporters. Even a lot of them are hanging on to their fantasy about Trump while their own lives and businesses suffer. This really cannot go on much longer.
