That they released last night basically looked terrible for donald trump. These are the polls that came out last night from ppp arizona, iowa, New Hampshire, ohio, pennsylvania, and wisconsin.

So ppps swing state polls came out last night. You may have seen them. But ppp has also done a new National Poll in the president ial race, which we have got exclusivel
