ABC Gets Internal Polls Trump Said Don’t Exist

The one constant with Donald Trump is that he lies - all the time and about almost everything.  Thus, when rumors got out that his re-election campaign had done internal polls that were devastating to Trump's 2020 hopes, it is no surprise that Trump lied.  Indeed, he claimed the internal polls did not exist - I head a replay of his lie just this morning.  Now, the lie has been exposed.  ABC News secured the internal polls and they were indeed grim for Trump and his unwashed, knuckle dragging supporters.  Here are highlights from ABC News: 

Data from President Donald Trump's first internal reelection campaign poll conducted in March, obtained exclusively by ABC News, showed him losing a matchup by wide margins to former Vice President Joe Biden in key battleground states.

Trump has repeatedly denied that such data exists.

The polling data, revealed for the first time by ABC News, showed a double-digit lead for Biden in Pennsylvania 55-39 and Wisconsin 51-41 and had Biden leading by seven points in Florida. In Texas, a Republican stronghold, the numbers showed the president only leading by two points.

ABC News did not obtain the poll’s early matchups against other candidates.  The New York Times was first to report the existence of the internal polls.

When presented by ABC News with these numbers, the Trump campaign confirmed the data saying in a statement that the numbers were old and that they have seen huge swings in Trump’s favor. The Trump campaign did not provide the results of the full 17 state poll, matchups against other candidates nor any updated polling figures. In the recent days [Trump] the president has continued to lash out against reports that his campaign’s internal polling showed him trailing in key battleground states, slamming the numbers as “phony polling information.” Trump has called his internal poll numbers “unbelievable” and that he was “the strongest I’ve ever been.” When Stephanopoulos mentioned reports of polls commissioned by the Trump campaign that showed Biden ahead of him in key states, [Trump] the president said “those polls don't exist.” A day later, the president took to Twitter and again claimed internal polling showing him behind in battleground states didn’t exist.

Liar, liar pants on fire.  Trump is despicable.
