Trump Mocked for Tweet Boasting of 'VERY GOOD Internal Polling Numbers' as Polls Continue to Show Him Losing to Biden

Trump Mocked for Tweet Boasting of 'VERY GOOD Internal Polling Numbers' as Polls Continue to Show Him Losing to Biden

Since the acceleration of the highly contagious virus throughout the United States and his response to nationwide protests against police brutality, both national and swing state polls gauging outcomes of the 2020 election haven't been kind to President Donald Trump.

One CNN poll recently showed him trailing Democratic nominee Joe Biden by 14 points. A Fox News poll showed Biden narrowly beating Trump in reliably red states like Texas and Georgia. A poll from Public Policy Polling released today also forecast trouble for Trump in Georgia this November, with Biden reaching a four point lead. The President's favorite poll, openly conservative Rasmussen, found Trump's disapproval rating at 55 percent. His average popularity from FiveThirtyEight hovers around the same.Trump's polling has gotten so bad that a recent report from Fox Business correspondent Charlie Gasparino cited anonymous GOP operatives floating the possibility of Trump dropping out if the poll numbers don't improve.


The Trump campaign strongly dismissed Gasparino's report, and—according to a new tweet—the President isn't concerned with the numerous polls showing that his second term may not be guaranteed.

Trump insists that his campaign's internal voting paints an entirely different picture.

It may not come as a surprise that other information disputes this. A CNBC report released on Monday found that Trump's campaign took $16 million out of its massive war chest to spend on ads in battleground states. An ABC News piece reported that internal Trump campaign polling found the same results earlier this month. A Washington Post report confirmed that internal polling showed Trump trailing Biden significantly in swing states, including by 16 points in Pennsylvania.

CNBC found that Trump's internal polls show him losing in the swing state of Michigan and treading water in typically red states like Georgia and North Carolina.

Trump dismissed the polls, repeating the questionable talking point that polls were widely off in 2016. In reality, a RealClearPolitics average of polling in the 2016 election showed Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton winning by 3.2 percentage points. She won the popular vote by 2.1 points—the largest winning margin of any electoral college loser—but lost the electoral vote.

People ridiculed Trump's confidence that he'd win a second term.

People mocked Trump, joking that the internal polls weren't from the campaign, but from Trump's own mind.

Though polls look good for Democrats now, they'll need a robust turnout in November to have a hope of unseating Donald Trump.

AOC Saves The Day By Giving Bronx Middle School Group A Tour Of The Capitol Amid Shutdown

New York Democratic Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez had people cheering after she stepped in to act as tour guide after a group of middle schoolers from the Bronx pulled up to the Capitol hours after the U.S. government officially shut down.

The federal government shut down early Wednesday after the White House and Congress failed to reach an agreement on federal spending. While Senate Democrats are in the minority, they hold enough seats to filibuster and are insisting that Republicans agree to extend federal subsidies for people insured under the Affordable Care Act.

GOP Lawmaker Sparks Outrage After Calling For Dem Rep. To Be Executed For Urging People To Protest Trump

On Wednesday, September 25, an Arizona MAGA Republican state Representative publicly called for the execution of Washington Democratic Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal because she urged anyone displeased with MAGA Republican President Donald Trump's job performance to exercise their First Amendment right to free speech and to protest.

Apparently, urging citizens to make their voices heard was a step too far for Arizona state GOP Representative John Gillette, who responded to a clip edited out of a longer video by right-wing account The Patriot Oasis (TPO). A quick scan through Gillette's X account media posts will reveal his political leanings.

Liberal TikToker Mortified After Discovering That Her Therapist Is Hardcore MAGA

There used to be a time where politics did not have to come into every room or be a part of every conversation. But in a world with President Trump and MAGA, it's not as simple as being Red, Blue, or Green anymore.

Now, the sociopolitical climate is dangerous for many people and still very stress-inducing for others. It's important to surround ourselves with people who make us feel safe and seen—and unfortunately, that might mean cutting out people who have "different beliefs" than we do.
