Trump calls to investigate 'fake' low approval polls

WASHINGTON, Apr 28 (AFP): US President Donald Trump hit out Monday at "fake polls" showing dismal approval ratings for the Republican less than 100 days after returning to the White House.

A Washington Post-ABC News survey last week revealed just 39 percent of Americans approved of Trump's job performance, while a New York Times poll put that figure at 42 percent.

More than 40 percent of Americans "disapprove strongly" of Trump, The Post found.

"Great Pollster John cLaughlin, one of the most highly respected in the industry, has just stated that The Failing New York Times Poll, and the BC/Washington Post Poll...are FAKE POLLS FROM FAKE NEWS ORGANIZATIONS," Trump posted on his Truth Social platform.
