how are they that close in the car? some people think we sit too close. that was stephanopoulos and donald trump. maybe the way the camera was. even if you take the president at his words, those polls don t exist, they do exist. the new polling from fox news appears to backup those very same weak numbers. joining us now steve cornacki who has information on non-leaked polls. these are published polls. these are polls that anybody can see. the new fox news polls. that s the president s favorite network. if you are looking here, this is reputable public poll. this is what they found and it is consistent of what other pollsters are finding from other outlets who are checking in right now. you match the president s name up against the likely democratic poebt opponents he could face. a lead for biden.
previous campaign and a lot different. the best way to do that was through the media, which we know the president is an avid consumer of and probably listens to more than anything else. we also know the president hates seeing any sign of weakness. there was also a feeling this tactic of leaking the polls pretty much backfired as we saw through the firing of three of the pollsters. yeah. he hates seeing signs of weakness but i ll guess him being told in the back seat of a car on national television by george stephanopoulos was worse than he had been told privately in the oval office. tim, an article in the new york times last week said when the president recently met with his campaign manager he was distracted. he did not want to talk re-election. it said this. unlike nearly every recent modern president who sought re-election, mr. trump rarely if ever speaks to aides about what he hopes to accomplish with what would be a hard-won second term. his interest is entirely in the present
you to know that. nbc news has learned that his campaign is now cutting ties with some of its own pollsters after results of a march poll in key states got leaked to the media. this morning the president tweeted that only fake polls show him trailing, but trailing is exactly what those internal polls of his showed. the ones conducted by his own people. in fact, the internal polling shows him behind joe biden in 11 key states everywhere from wisconsin to pennsylvania to michigan. that seemed to surprise the president when it came up in his recent abc news interview. even your own polls show you re behind right now don t they? no. my polls show i m winning everywhere. we ve all seen these reports, 15 out of 17 states you spent $2 million on a poll and you re behind. nobody showed you those polls because those polls don t exist, george. i just had a meeting with somebody that is a pollster and
we could be shocked. we could say, this is unprecedented. it s never happened before. but guess what? president trump won on staying exactly in the present and we re seeing the entire republican party get in line right behind the president because somehow it seems to be working for the moment. well, there is a difference between campaigning and governing. i think trump is a very effective messenger. he stays in the moment. he stays focused on very clear, digestible messages. but being able to do that on the campaign trail or on a stage is different than moving the wheels of government forward. and he s never been good at that in his private business. he has not been good at it in washington. you know, he just said during the stephanopoulos interview that he is going to unroll a new healthcare plan in the coming week, coming month, two months. not clear what the time frame is. i m sure that is sending the republican establishment bonkers because there is no way they ll be able to come
was for it. it was a 540. jesse: you must have been a skater back in the day. if you are going to plagiarize, plagiarize fdr, maybe jfk. michael avenatti. you plagiariz. jesse: beto said it first. something that bothered me this week. abc gets into the oval and they start trying to trap the president. some thee receipt cal scandal so theoretical scandal. watch how stephanopoulos tried his best to get trump to say something controversial. if china, russia, someone offers your campaign with information, do you call the fbi
