O’Rourke Not Worried About Falling Poll Numbers

Beto O’Rourke told Yahoo News that his tepid support in polls of the Iowa electorate will not alter his strategy in the state.

Said O’Rourke: “There is a lot of time before the Iowa caucuses. We’ve never been guided by a poll before.”

He added: “If you were to look at the Texas Senate race, the first couple of months after we were in, no poll was going to say that we were going to win. When I first ran for Congress in 2012, against an incumbent and against some very long odds no poll at any point said that we were going to win. And yet yet we did. And if I am lucky enough to to be the nominee and then to become the president of the United States, no poll will guide the decisions that I make.”
