KGOP skeptical of polling on tRrump [View all]

Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas), who is up for reelection in a state where polls show Trump and Biden in a dead heat, said polls are likely off.

"I think they're in all likelihood underreporting support for the president. That's what we saw in 2016," he said, noting that most polls still accurately predicted the popular vote.

"I'm always a little skeptical when I see a poll," he added.
