-snip-
On Tuesday morning, Sanders gaggled with reporters on the White House driveway for almost five minutes. During that time, CNN White House correspondent Joe Johns pressed Sanders on that New York Times report.
Did the president tell his aides to deny that internal polling showed him trailing Joe Biden? Johns asked.
Look, I think the polling got it completely wrong in 2016, I dont think its right now, Sanders said, appearing to confirm at least the part of the story about those internal numbers.
Im not going to get into a lot of details, but we feel incredibly good about what the president has been able to accomplish in the first two years of his administration, Sanders added, and rattled off a list of those purported accomplishments.
The presidents got a great story to tell, and we feel very comfortable about where we are, Sanders added.
This is his internal polling, Johns said.
Im sorry? Sanders asked.
Thats his internal polling, Johns repeated.
Again, Im not worried about polling, Sanders said, adding Im here at the White House, and Ive got to be a little careful about what I answer, but the president has an incredible record, hes had tremendous success, we feel very comfortable about where we are as administration.

Sarah, unless they're holding your family hostage or have a sniper sighting on you at all times, you're perfectly free to walk out the door. I don't know what you'd do for a living after this shameful chapter of your wasted life, but maybe there's a short-handed fast food joint willing to take a chance on you?
