'Half of US women have very unfavorable view of Trump': Megyn Kelly shares poll about The Donald as front-runner lashes out at Fox News host calling her 'crazy'

Megyn Kelly took to social media on Thursday while Donald Trump waged an attack on the Fox News host calling her 'crazy' multiple times. 

The popular host of The Kelly File linked to a Reuters story on Twitter with the headline; 'Half of U.S. women have "very unfavorable" view of Trump: poll.'

She was immediately hit with a wave of responses attacking her from Trump supporters.

Thoughts: The Fox news host posted a Reuters story that said; 'Half of U.S. women have "very unfavorable" view of Trump: poll'

Kelly opened up about her relationship with Trump in an interview with the April issue of MORE that will hit newsstands next week.

Kelly talked about Trump's decision to skip the Iowa debate she moderated just before the state's caucus, saying she wished that her Fox News coworker Bill O'Reilly would have stuck up for her more when he spoke to the front-runner the night before to try and convince him to take the stage. 

'I do wish that O’Reilly had defended me more in his interview with Trump. I would have defended him more,' revealed Kelly.

'Honestly? People think I’m fearless. But I’m human. I was not looking forward to going out on that stage and dealing with Trump if he was going to attack me.

'I felt the pressure of that and the stress of that. But I also knew I would walk through that fear and I would go out there and I would handle it. I can muster up the courage in the difficult situations to get me through.'

Kelly said in the interview that Trump's attacks on her, and decision to skip the debate, should ultimately serve as a lesson for politicians.

'The result in Iowa, to the extent it damaged Trump’s fortunes, as Trump believes it did, will hopefully serve as a lesson to other politicians that they bully the media at their own peril,' explained the Fox News host.

'It’s always fun to beat up on the moderators in the press - I get that - but there is a boundary one should not cross, and hopefully this helped define where it is.'

She later added about Trump's attacks on her: 'I’ve been thinking about that Margaret Thatcher quote where she said something like, "I love when they attack me personally because it means they don’t have a political argument left."'

Meanwhile, Kelly's feud with Trump has been reignited after the front-runner announced Wednesday morning he refused to participate in the next debate, to be hosted by Fox News and moderated by Kelly.

During the last debate, Kelly did not ask Trump a question for the first 30 minutes of the debate, but when she did about his immigration policies, Trump greeted her by saying; 'Nice to be with you Megyn. You’re looking well.'

The Fox News host was cordial, but focused all night as she forced Trump to answer questions about policy and did not allow him to speak over her like he was doing with some of the other candidates on the stage.

Repetition: This came  after Trump called Kelly 'crazy' multiple times on Twitter

Kelly at one point played video examples of times Trump changed his political stances and soon after pointed out the lawsuits that had been filed against him and Trump University.

'We have a 98% approval rating, we have an A from the Better Business Bureau and people like it,' Trump said of Trump University.

Kelly immediately responded by saying; 'The rating from the BBB was a D- and it was a result of a number of complaints they received.'

She then pointed out that 'there’s a class action of 5,000 people' saying these people included 'veterans' and 'teachers.'

'The plaintiffs against you are like the Madoff victims,' said Kelly at one point, before reading the opinion handed down by the US Court of Appeals, which said; '... victims of con artists often sing the praises of their victimizers until they realize that they have been fleeced.'

'Give me break,' said Trump.

'Lets see what happens in a couple of years.'

Kelly previously said she was not anticipating any more fights with Trump during the Republican debates, and that she was preparing the same 'tough but fair' questions for him as she does for other candidates.

'It was never personal from my point of view,' Kelly said.

'I understand he was upset. I didn't take it personally and I certainly don't have anything against him. I find him a very fascinating person to cover.'

Kelly said earlier this month she did not regret questioning Trump on his history of making derogatory statements about women at the first GOP debate on Fox in August.

'I still think it was a great question. I stand by every question I asked him and he was not the only one who had tough questions. He was the only one, however, who complained,' Kelly said.

Trump lashed out at Kelly in the press after the debate, accusing her of singling him out and then refused to take part in the most recent Fox debate ahead of the Iowa caucuses.

Reflecting on the experience, Kelly said it was 'bizarre' to become part of the news.

'He was so very focused on me that I became the story, and you never want to be the story when you're a news person, you want to be covering the story. So it was truly an Alice through the Looking Glass experience,' she said during an appearance on Good Morning America.
