Former President Donald Trump criticized Fox News and dismissed a New Hampshire poll that placed him at 33 percent, with Nikki Haley at 29 percent. Trump, known for his confrontations with the media, called the poll fake and accused Fox News of emphasizing the results. He referred to Nikki Haley as “Birdbrain” and labeled the poll part of a broader pattern of deception. Trump countered the unfavorable poll by citing an alternative survey from Interactive Polls, showing him at 52 percent and Haley at 22 percent. The incident highlights the ongoing polarization in the political landscape and Trump’s efforts to control the narrative around his political standing.
