By CAITLIN OPRYSKO 06/17/2019 02:30 PM EDT
Its far too early to put much stock into 2020 polling, RNC Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel said Monday unless youre a Democrat.
Its way too early to be looking at polls. [Former Wisconsin Gov.] Scott Walker was leading heading into 2016. People come and go and they fade, the head of the Republican National Committee said in an interview on Fox News. But, she added, I think the Democrats should be looking at them because that gets them on the debate stage and they have to make numbers to get on the debate stage for their primary.
McDaniels comment came on the heels of a number of public polls showing the president trailing in head-to-head matchups with a handful of top Democrats. Trump has also in the last week disputed weak internal polling that showed him in danger or losing in several key states, reportedly asking aides to deny that he was trailing and then letting several pollsters go when the dismal, though months-old, poll numbers leaked.
On Monday he wrote on Twitter that only Fake Polls show us behind the Motley Crew of Democrats, adding that we are looking really good, but it is far too early to be focused on that.
