Huffington PostTrump had called the polling numbers taken back in March fake polls after they were reported by the press last week and insisted that he is winning very big in several key states.
The pollsters removal was reported by The New York Times and NBC News on Sunday, with the outlets citing a presidential adviser and someone close to the campaign, respectively.
President Donald Trumps reelection campaign reportedly removed some of its internal pollsters after internal polling numbers were leaked that showed him trailing his competitors.
The decision to cut ties with three of its five pollsters is meant to prevent further disclosures of survey data, the Times reported.

He's at war with reality.

(6,921 posts)Rather than change his behavior when it's proven wrong, Trump changes "facts" to suit his behavior. Of course he won't keep pollsters who won't confirm his self worship.

They didn't get fired for leaking the 3's. Come on, 3 different polling companies leaked the polls at the same time?
The main thrust of the letter is Skaggs asserting to McDaniel that registration numbers here are being falsely inflated to give a rosier picture of Nevadas viability for the GOP. We both want to see President Trump reelected in 2020 so I urge your timely attention to this matter,

Skaggs was fired for leaking the letter to the press. The author of the article denies it was him. These leaks came straight from the campaign.
