Trump accuses Fake News Media of reporting fake poll numbers from his campaign

Yesterday it was reported that Trump’s own campaign shows him losing to Biden in key battleground states:

CBS NEWS – An internal poll conducted by President Trump’s reelection campaign found Mr. Trump trailing former Vice President Joe Biden in some key battleground states in a hypothetical general election matchup, according to two sources with knowledge of the poll.

The campaign also found Biden doing well in states Mr. Trump won in 2016 and would need to win again to ensure reelection to a second term. The poll was conducted by campaign pollster Tony Fabrizio, and its findings were first reported by The New York Times.

The poll found Biden doing well across a broad swath of the country, including Rust Belt states like Michigan, Ohio and Wisconsin, as well as Florida, North Carolina and Arizona.

“findings were first reported by The New York Times”

Trump was not happy about this report and pushed back on Twitter saying this isn’t true:

Even if it was true it’s extremely early to be assessing voter attitudes with much accuracy. We still have a year and a half to go before a general election vote is even held and who knows which Democrat will even be at the top of the ticket by then.

That said, all of the public polls this year so far show Biden beating Trump with an average of +8 points and Sanders beating Trump by an average of +5 points.
