The Trump campaign is in the “fake galls” phase of its campaign.

It comes as polls show the Harris-Walz ticket with a multi-point lead over Trump-Vance.

Trump’s campaign celebrated the same polls that showed it in the lead earlier this year.
Former President Donald Trump touted his standing in the polls when they showed him leading President Joe Biden earlier this year. Now he calls the same polls “fakes”.
Recent polls have shown Vice President Kamala Harris and Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz holding a multi-point national lead over the GOP ticket.
Fox News noticed and asked about them in an interview with Sen. JD Vance on Sunday.
“The media is using fake polls to lower Republican turnout and create divisiveness and conflict with Republican voters. I’m telling you, anyone watching this, the Trump campaign is in a very, very good place. We’re going to win this race,” Vance said.
He added that polls have been wrong before, most notably in 2016, when Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was widely predicted to easily beat Trump.
But the Trump campaign reserves its criticism of opinions when they show a negative trend. When they’re on Trump’s side, the former president is quick to share the good news.
“ABC News recently compared how Biden and Harris would fare against President Trump, and spoiler alert, they both lost in a landslide,” Trump’s campaign said in a July 12 email blast. ABC News analyzed data from 538 owned by Disney. A voting site formerly run by Nate Silver.
In September, the Trump campaign celebrated an ABC News/Washington Post poll showing that “Trump beat Crooked Joe Biden by a whopping 10 points in the primary.”
On Fox Sunday, Vance reacted to a recently released ABC News/Washington Post poll that gave Harris-Walz a 5 percentage point lead over Trump-Vance among all adults and a 6 percentage point lead among likely voters.
Similarly, according to a poll by The New York Times and Siena College, Harris would lead in battleground states like Arizona and North Carolina and surge in Nevada and Georgia.
Vance encouraged Republicans to vote, saying his team “can’t worry about the polls.”
“I think a lot of the polls show him stalling and leveling off,” Vance said of Harris. “If you see the numbers that we’re seeing and you really talk to the American people, I’m very confident that we’re going to be in the right place come November.”
