" I'm not losing, because those are fake polls."

PRESIDENT TRUMP IS QUICK TO PUSH BACK ON POLLS... OFTEN TOUTING HIS APPROVAL RATING AMONG REPUBLICANS

HOWEVER, A NEW POLL BY THE PEW RESEARCH CENTER MAY BE CAUSING SOME RIPPLES IN THE WHITE HOUSE AS REPUBLICAN SATISFACTION WITH THE STATE OF THE COUNTRY HAS DROPPED SIGNIFICANTLY... DOWN TO JUST 19%. MOST TROUBLING IS BEFORE APRIL, THAT NUMBER WAS CONSISTENTLY OVER 50%.

SOT Matthew McDermott, VP Whitmann Strategies
0.34 Donald Trump is arguably at the worst point of his presidency at the moment in large part because of the negative reaction to the way he has handled the situation of the last few months

IT IS IMPORTANT TO DISTINGUISH THAT SATISFACTION WITH THE COUNTRY IS NOT THE SAME AS SATISFACTION WITH THE PRESIDENT... THE PRESIDENT RATES HIGH AT 78% AMONG REPUBLICANS, BUT THAT IS A SEVEN POINT DROP SINCE THE EPIDEMIC BEGAN BACK IN MARCH...

THE PRESIDENT'S SUPPORTERS SAY THE POLLING IS SKEWED... AND THAT IT HAS CERTAINLY BEEN WRONG IN THE PAST...

SOT Lawrence Tabas, Chairman, PA GOP
1:10 We'd certainly like the polls to be the other way but it is kind of our normal to have President Trump always behind and then win in the end

AND THE POLLS DO SHOW THAT TWO-THIRDS OF BIDEN SUPPORTERS CONSIDER THEIR VOTE AN ANTI-TRUMP REFERENDUM RATHER THAN PRO-BIDEN... SOMETHING TRUMP SUPPORTERS SAY CAN SKEW THINGS THEIR WAY COME NOVEMBER

SOT Lawrence Tabas
1.28 So when you have people voting on a negative basis it is not the same level of intensity our voters are voting for president trump they love him

BUT AS NOVEMBER APPROACHES LOVE MAY NOT BE ENOUGH TO PROPEL THE PRESIDENT FORWARD... HE IS TRAILING IN SWING STATES WISCONSIN AND FLORIDA...AND NOW THE HISTORICALLY RED STATEs OF TEXAS AND ARIZONA MAY EVEN BE IN PLAY FOR BIDEN.
