President Trump has conducted his own public opinion polls since he first ran for the White House, using his active campaign site to launch the research, gauging public public opinion on a variety of topics.
The current controversy over CNN reporter Jim Acosta and his loss of press credentials has prompted a new survey, this time centered on the news media.
“President Trump will not put up with the media’s liberal bias and utter disrespect for this administration and the hardworking Americans who stand with us. But the President wants to know what you think,” the poll outreach said.
“Do you think the White House was right to revoke the press badge belonging to CNN’s Jim Acosta?” the first question asked.
It is followed by 29 others which explore political bias, media accountability, preference in news organizations and more. Among the inquiries:
“Do you believe the media disdains conservatives?”
’Do you believe the media fails to report on Democrats’ scandals?’
’Do you believe the media is biased when it covers people of faith and supporters of religious liberties?”
“Americans are waking up to the fact that the mainstream media is nothing more than a 24/7 barrage of fake stories and an absolute revulsion for everything we stand for as a movement. Liberal propaganda machines have used every possible tactic to undermine and insult our movement as we fight to put America first,” advises the outreach, which was emailed to Mr. Trump’s supporters.
