Washington Post: “Trumpworld is trying to wave a red flag in front of the president to warn him that his 2020 reelection battle is going to be a tougher fight than he’s willing to acknowledge. That’s why, people close to the campaign, said that unflattering internal poll numbers leaked about matchups with Joe Biden and other Democratic contenders in key states.”
“Trump at first denied the internal numbers existed (his campaign manager Brad Parscale confirmed they did indeed exist, but were from March) and his campaign then took action to dismiss those suspected of revealing them.”
Said one insider: “Polls are simply snapshots in time, and the election is still a year and a half away. I’m not worried about the polling numbers as much as I’m worried about the volume of damaging leaks coming from within the campaign.”
