Trump trumpets new polls
Donald Trump is back doing what he loves most: talking about the polls.
{mosads}”A lot of very, very big poll numbers coming down over the last few days,” was the first thing Trump said at his rally in Pensacola, Fla., on Wednesday night.
The GOP presidential nominee, who spent the entire primary campaign boasting about his poll numbers, went mostly quiet on the subject after Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton extended her national lead after the July party conventions and then began to say he didn’t believe in them as she further expanded her lead.
Now that polls are tightening, however, Trump is talking less about the election being rigged against him and more about his confidence that he’ll win.
“The new L.A. Times poll, highly respected, has us up 6 points nationwide,” Trump said.
He was referring to the USC Dornsife/Los Angeles Times “Daybreak” poll that tracks about 3,000 eligible voters until Election Day. The poll has consistently favored Trump more than other polls, and it currently has him leading Clinton by 5.4 percentage points.
“In six days we are going to win the great state of Florida,” Trump declared Wednesday night. “And we are going to win the White House.”
