"I see some great polls — I see one from the Los Angeles Times, just came out, where were ahead by 4 or 5 points. I see one from CNN where we are down," the Republican presidential nominee told the crowd at a rally in Ashburn, Va., on Tuesday.

"I think these polls, I don't know, there's something about these polls, there's something phony."

He went on to hammer CNN characterizing the network as "negative all day long" and said the network's ratings will go down because he won't sit for an interview. Trump said CNN is asking for an interview with him for a documentary it's doing, but he will refuse.

CNN's poll from Monday night found Trump trailing Clinton, his Democratic counterpart, by 9 points, a 7-point bump from before the Democratic convention. But the USC Dornsife / LA Times Presidential Election Poll, released daily, found Trump with a 2-point lead on Tuesday.

1. Reckon anybody has him abt the Electoral College. yet

2. The USC/LA Times poll is different from all the others

They poll the same group of people for each survey result so it really is more of a gauge of how stable support for a candidate is rather than their level of support. I believe they poll 1/7th of the group each day to get a rolling average.

3. I agree. There's no way he has this much support.

6. The major "phony" thing in

this election is Don the Con.

7. Poor Donald; every one and every thing is against him.

The questions from the media, the media themselves, hemophiliac anchor people, the elections are fixed, the debates are fixed, the NFL conspired against me, a fire Marshall blocks my supporters, the IRS is after me because I'm a strong Christian, a federal judge ruled against me because he's a Mexican, and now the polls.

Poor, poor Donald

8. It's always 'something'

He likes to use that phrase to denigrate...there's 'something' there about Obama and Muslims, there's 'something' there about Mrs Khan not speaking, there's always 'something' that he juuuuusssst can't put a name to (but you can fill in the blanks).
Conspiracy thy name is Drumpf.

9. The election is rigged Donnie

it sucks to be you

[Moostache]

10. Fuck you Trump, the only thing rigged are your tax returns...where are they bum?

"I think these polls, I don't know, there's something about these polls, there's something phony."

Nothing this asshole does annoys me more than the use of 'there's something there...' conspiracy theory catnip.
I wish there was a way I could send a taser jolt through his body every time he uttered the phrase if for no other reason than the hilarity of seeing his hair fly everywhere...

11. Look in a mirror, Dude.

There's the biggest phony in this election.

12. LA Times tends to lean conservative, so of course he'll cite this one.
