Internet erupts after erroneous Fox graphic shows Harris beating Trump's approval in swing states
Frontpage news and politics

Editor's Note: A previous version of this story did not include information that the Fox News poll graphic didn't line up with the voiced reporting in their story. Raw Story regrets the error.

Former President Donald Trump has been largely silent on social media on Sunday, but some onlookers think that may change after he sees the latest Fox News poll graphic on his numbers versus Kamala Harris.

Fox News featured a graphic of a swing state poll that showed Harris' favorability ratings ahead of Trump's in Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Minnesota, and Michigan. However, it should be noted that the television segment featuring the graphic includes a statement that Harris and Trump were in fact tied for favorability ratings in Michigan.

The graphic states that it included registered voters, and took place July 22-24.

Trump critics were quick to react online.

@acnewsitics simply said, "Uh oh."

@kinsellawarren said, "Better than the numbers is the fact that this is a Fox News poll."

Trump supporter @GioBruno1600 asked, "Do you believe this FOX NEWS poll?"

@joled16 said, "Without having had a convention yet! OMG! I just realized this is a FOX NEWS poll! Trump must be furious with FOX."

@TheNewsTrending wrote, "A new Fox News poll shows that Trump's significant lead over Biden in battleground states has disappeared when compared with Vice President Harris."

Former White House aide Keith Boykin had this to say:

"The ketchup is going to hit the wall in Mar-a-Lago after this new Fox News poll."
