....................In Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Florida and Michigan three states where Trump edged Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton by narrow margins that proved decisive in his victory Trump trails Biden by double-digits. In three of those states Wisconsin, Pennsylvania and Florida Bidens leads sit outside the polls margin of error.
Trump is also behind the former vice president in Iowa by 7 points, in North Carolina by 8 points, in Virginia by 17 points, in Ohio by 1 point, in Georgia by 6 points, in Minnesota by 14 points, and in Maine by 15 points.
In Texas, where a Democratic presidential nominee hasnt won since President Jimmy Carter in 1976, Trump leads by just 2 points..................................
The president denied the existence of any negative polling during comments last week in the Oval Office, saying his campaign has great internal polling and saying the numbers reported were from fake polls.
We are winning in every single state that we've polled. We're winning in Texas very big. We're winning in Ohio very big. We're winning in Florida very big, he said.

(7,528 posts)He doesn't like the news, so he decries them as fake.
He doesn't like the truth, so he doesn't listen to it.
He doesn't like what's in his taxes, so he won't release them.
He doesn't like his health, so he gets a doctor to tell him he's the healthiest overweight 70+-year-old ever.
I like presidents who don't need to encapsulate themselves in an insular bubble.

(115,683 posts)Of course, not having accurate internal polling is a disaster for any campaign, but that's fine with me. Let him plan his campaign around phony numbers.

The Velveteen Ocelot
(115,683 posts)Trump wants polls showing him winning decisively in all states and not even Rasmussen could manage that. Some previously-unknown and completely disreputable outfit will present him with totally fake numbers, which he will love and flaunt everywhere, and then not pay the fake pollster.

(82,383 posts)The pollsters should just tell him alternative facts, that he is ahead. While he thinks he is ahead, he changes nothing and that results in him losing.
He is the biggest baby ever.

(7,153 posts)1. Pollsters project only from whom they have contacted. There are a number of Repugs who refuse to answer phones unless a family member starts leaving a message. But every November, especially in Presidential years, they show up at the polls (or vote absentee). In Virginia, unless there is a corresponding surge from uncontacted Democrats/disaffected Repugs (as happened in the governor's race in 2017), this boosts the Repug share of the turnout by about 5 percentage points. Add that to the "margin of error".
2. ANYTHING can happen in the next 16 months (apart from the Senate turning Democratic). The following month, who knows?
