Trump Briefly Appears to Acknowledge His Poll Numbers Aren't Great, Says I Don't Know' Why
"Well, I don't believe the polls for one thing, because how can you not have I saw a poll on the border where I'm at 55%, okay? said Trump. The president later expressed disbelief over the number. How can I be at 55% when everybody agrees that the border is totally, beautifully closed and nobody's coming in unless they come in legally, etc, etc. It couldn't be better. I should be at 100%."
"TRUMP: I don't believe the polls. And some polls, I mean, I could show you polls where I'm polling at 69% popularity and some polls where I have one at 71 LLAMAS: We'll ask the White House to share that with us. TRUMP: Well, wait a minute, 71%. And then I have polls where I'm at 44% and 42%. The polls are almost dishonest, almost as dishonest as some of the reporters themselves. I'm getting very good polls."
"I'm getting very good polls on crime prevention, on law and order, and on the border. And I'm getting, starting to get great polls on teh economy, which I think is our biggest LLAMAS: The polls on the economy aren't they're not great. TRUMP: They should be great. LLAMAS: They should be, so why aren't they if you believe that? TRUMP: I don't know. I don't know."
President Donald Trump challenged the accuracy of polls, pointing to widely divergent survey results from the low 40s to the low 70s and calling some polls almost dishonest. He highlighted favorable numbers on border enforcement, crime prevention, and law and order, describing the border as totally closed and insisting approval should be higher. He expressed puzzlement about why economic approval ratings were not stronger despite claiming strong economic performance. The president has previously challenged unfavorable polls, including legal action against a pollster, while a Harvard/Harris poll finds a majority saying his performance is worse than Joe Biden's.
