'I believe we're winning in polls, don't believe the media' - Donald Trump tells rally
Donald Trump on
Monday told a crowd of supporters in Florida that he is in the leading the
White House race in polls, telling them to forget reports by the main stream
media such as CNN who in a recent poll said Clinton was passing Trump by 5%
among likely voters..
"Some great polls
have just come out. I believe we're actually winning," Trump said, while
slamming the mainstream media.
The Billionaire business
man then cited two polls, which show he's in the lead.
"The Investors
(Business) Daily poll, which was the single most accurate poll for the last
three cycles. The last three presidential races. We're up. We just went up. We
were down three. We were down five. We're now two up in Rasmussen. Just came
out this morning. We're up in another couple of polls," Trump said.
However, the majority of
national polls show Trump isn't leading.
A new ABC
News/Washington Post poll shows Clinton with a 12-point lead over Trump among
likely-voters.
Trump also told the
crowd in Florida he was leading in key states.
"We're up in Ohio,
we're up in Iowa. We're doing great in North Carolina," he said. "I
think we're doing great in Florida. I think we're really -- I think we're going
to win Florida big."
Trump's campaign manager
Kellyanne Conway revealed over the weekend that Trump was behind and said
Clinton's big name supporters such as Obama and Bill Clinton is responsible for
her position in the polls.
"We are behind. She
has some advantages," Conway told NBC's "Meet the Press," adding
that Clinton "has a former president, happens to be her husband,
campaigning for her; the current president and first lady, vice president --
all much more popular than she can hope to be. And she's seen as the
incumbent."
Jason Miller, Trump's
senior communications adviser, told CNN's Wolf Blitzer on the "Situation
Room"Monday that the campaign is doing "fantastic."
"Let me tell you
where he's behind. He's behind in Pennsylvania, slightly. He's behind slightly
in Michigan. There's these blue states Mr. Trump is putting into play where we
get zero credit for doing so," he said. "We're leading in places like
Iowa, which has been blue the last couple of cycles. We're leading in Ohio.
We're probably a tied race in North Carolina. We might be slightly ahead there.
In Florida, I believe we're within the margin in that state. We're ahead with
absentees at this moment.
: "We believe we're
winning this race. Mr. Trump said that in his very last rally that he was in.
That's the real reflection of where we are as a campaign."
