Trump Threatens to Sue New York Times Over "Fake" Poll, Calls Surveys Criminal
- •Donald Trump announced plans to sue The New York Times over an "unfavorable opinion poll" showing his approval rating at 40 percent.
- •He suggested that "Fake and Fraudulent Polling should be, virtually, a criminal offense."
- •The specific poll in question is the New York Times/Siena University survey, which broadly aligns with other polls indicating a decline in his support.
- •Trump previously filed a $15 billion defamation suit against The New York Times in September 2025, which was later refiled in amended form.
- •The Times/Siena poll highlighted the unraveling of Trump’s winning coalition from the 2024 election, with younger and non-white voters moving away.
