The former president has said he is « leading by a lot, » despite polls painting a different picture.
Donald Trump got some good news from a national poll released on Friday after recent polling has largely shown bad news for the former president.
The Democratic presidential ticket has seen a significant reversal in the polls since President Joe Biden made the decision to step aside from the race on July 21 and endorse his vice president, Kamala Harris. Now formally the Democrats’ nominee, Harris has surged in the polls—leading Trump in many national and some swing state polling, whereas Biden was generally lagging behind.
Trump has been dismissive of the polling, saying last week that he’s « leading by a lot. » In a news conference on Thursday, he also pointed to 2016, when many polls showed him trailing Democrat Hillary Clinton. Trump ultimately notched a narrow victor in the Electoral College despite losing the popular vote.The New Poll
Polling by RMG Research for Napolitan Institute showed Trump with a 1-point lead over Harris nationally.
