"And he should resign", she said, recalling several instances during Trump's presidential campaign where the 71-year-old Republican targeted women over their physical appearance including the then-Fox News host Megyn Kelly as well as his Republican presidential rival at the time, Carly Fiorina.

The Twitter attack, least expected from a man who leads the world's biggest economy, drew strong criticism, including from fellow Republicans.

The poll was conducted Sunday through Tuesday, before Trump tweeted Thursday attacking the hosts of MSNBC's "Morning Joe", Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski. House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi called Trump's tweets, "blatantly sexist".

Trump teed off on the "Morning Joe" hosts shortly after the show aired.

Lawmakers in both parties rebuked Trump.

According to the poll, 87 percent of Democrats and 75 percent of Independents believe Trump's tweets are hurting his agenda, while 53 percent of Republicans agreed.

President Donald Trump on Thursday ridiculed the brains, looks and temperament of a female cable television host whose show he says he has stopped watching.

Mark Kornblau, the president of public relations for NBC News and MSNBC, wrote that "Never imagined a day when I would think to myself, "it is beneath my dignity to respond to the President of the United States", as reported by The Independent.

It's not clear what specifically triggered Mr Trump's vulgar attack, but topics discussed during Thursday's show included the rancour that exists on Twitter and Mr Trump's tweeting habits.

The tweets represent "what is wrong with American politics, not the greatness of America", said Republican Senator Lindsey Graham.

They did meet with Trump at his Florida estate on New Year's Eve for what they described as a brief visit, and also spent time with the president and senior staff at the White House in February. But the president, he's not going to step back. "They call him an embarrassment on the world stage and go and lay these different comments out and make them go and defend their previous comments". Asked why this particular attack had to be so personal, she responded: "I think I've addressed that as much as I can".
