Have you noticed in the last few days, certain crap pollsters have upped their polls and producing a lot of them (someone is paying for them) and suddenly finding Trump getting closer and closer while the big pollsters are not....
This is an exact re-run of what Trump's campaign pulled in 2016, pay crap pollsters to bring down the poll averages to make it look like Trump is gaining.
Trafalgar, Moore, NRSC, OANN, Rasmussen, Change Research, Gravis this is all by design to fool the public and drop the polling average.

Projection. If he's accusing the left, that's a pretty good sign he's doing it.

No one will take an OAN poll seriously. Except those who think the OTHERS are "fake"

Ummm...probably comparing this to 2016 isn't the most-convincing line of attack...

...and who became president after that election?
I keep trying to make this point: relying on polling aggregates (and/or discounting polls you don't like) is a fool's game with four months to go. Is Trump "doomed"...? No -- but we can doom him by turning out to vote. In the meantime, assume the most-unfavorable polls are the most accurate, and keep working to overcome that!
