by a lot and every poll that i see and i have we re doing well. i think we ll do well in michigan. traditionally it s democrat and i won it last time. i was up in wisconsin recently. i think we ll do very well there. you know, i think i think we re going to do great. just for the record, this is public polling, not the president s internal polling. national poll, quinnipiac had vice president biden up 13 points and other democrats up two. we re focusing on the biggest margins here. michigan, biden was leading the president by 12 points. again, it s early. that s a fact. it s a reputable poll and pennsylvania, biden up 11 points over the president again. it s early. we saw state polling in 2016, and we saw the president have a very smart strategy to come back and win the white house and losing the popular vote electorally and those are facts. he wants everybody to believe if you see something negative about me just don t believe it. behind the scenes actually he might be expressin
