President Donald Trump on Thursday attacked Fox News after a poll showed 51% of registered voters favor impeachment proceedings against him, escalating his previous attacks on the networks polling and some of its more objective hosts and commentators, as opposed to those who provide him with favorable coverage.

In a series of tweets, Trump said the networks pollsters suck and falsely claimed he has NEVER had a good Fox News poll despite regularly tweeting about favorable Fox News polls.

He went on to attack network figures like legal analyst Andrew Napolitano , who last week called Trumps July 25 call with Ukraines president, in which he asked the country to investigate 2020 presidential candidate Joe Biden , criminal and impeachable. Trump also went after afternoon anchor Shep Smith , who frequently fact-checks Trump and points out the presidents penchant for lying.

They stand in sharp contrast to the hosts of the networks flagship morning show Fox & Friends, evening hosts Tucker Carlson , Sean Hannity and Laura Ingraham, and weekend host Jeanine Pirro, who are more friendly toward Trump.

A representative for Fox News did not immediately respond to a request for comment on Trumps tweets Thursday.

Political polling experts typically consider the networks polling team highly reputable .

The poll was covered on Thursdays episode of Fox & Friends, which the president regularly watches.
