Former President Donald Trump's pollster, Tony Fabrizio, sent a campaign memo Thursday night declaring that "President Trump is on the verge" of victory.
However, despite the fact that he is Trump's pollster and ostensibly conducting his own polling, he provided no internal numbers to back up his assertion. Instead, he relied on RealClearPolitics polling averages, a right-wing site whose averages are skewed toward Republicans due to the inclusion of surveys from Republican junk pollsters.
"As the table clearly illustrates, President Trump’s position nationally and in every single Battleground State is SIGNIFICANTLY better today than it was 4 years ago," Fabrizio wrote in the memo, referring to the RealClearPolitics averages. "In fact, President Trump holds the lead in 5 of the 7 Battleground States that account for over 270 Electoral Votes."
