Donald Trump launches scathing attack after new poll showed what US really thinks of him 5 months into presidency
Donald Trump has launched a scathing attack after a new poll detailed what the people of America really think of him, some five months after he returned as president.
After becoming the 47th POTUS in January, Trump promised to do things differently to his predecessor, Joe Biden.
The Republican president has introduced a ton of changes since returning to the Oval Office, with some being more controversial than others.
Most recently, Trump has introduced his 'Big Beautiful Bill', which led to his very public bust-up with Elon Musk, after the Tesla founder dubbed it an 'abomination'.

There'a also been anti-ICE protests that have engulfed LA, while rising tensions in the Middle East between Israel and Iran have even seen Trump get involved.
Many opinion polls on the president have been released in recent weeks, where participants were asked to judge Trump on a variety of different issues, including how he's handled the economy, immigration, and foreign policy.
A new poll conducted by Fox News found 46 percent approve of Trump's handling of immigration, while 53 percent disapprove.
As for foreign policy, a lowly 43 percent stated they approve of Trump's way on the world stage, but 57 percent disapprove of the president in that area.
Those surveyed were also unimpressed with how Trump has handled the economy and inflation so far, strong points from the president's first term.
After the poll was published on Fox News, Trump took to his Truth Social account to issue a scathing response.
The president wrote: "The Crooked FoxNews Polls got the Election WRONG, I won by much more than they said I would, and have been biased against me for years. They are always wrong and negative. It’s why MAGA HATES FoxNews, even though their anchors are GREAT.
"This has gone on for years, but they never change the incompetent polling company that does their work. Now a new FoxNews poll comes out this morning giving me a little more than 50% at the Border, and yet the Border is miraculously perfect, NOBODY WAS ABLE TO COME IN LAST MONTH.
"60,000 people came in with Sleepy Joe in the same month last year. I hate FAKE pollsters, one of the Worst, but Fox will never change their discredited pollster!"
The Fox News poll wasn't all doom and gloom for Trump, however, as 53 percent of those polled said they approve of the president's handling of border security, compared to 46 percent who don't.
The outlet notes that the survey 'includes interviews with a sample of 1,003 registered voters randomly selected from a national voter file'.
