'The country is too complex now just to call a couple hundred people and ask them what they think,' Brad Parscale said.
The manager of Donald Trump’s reelection campaign declared modern polling “the biggest joke in politics” — perpetuating an effort by the president and his allies to downplay the significance of recent surveys showing him lagging behind several Democratic 2020 rivals.
“The way turnout now works and the abilities that we have to turn out voters, the polling can’t understand that, and that’s why it was so wrong in 2016. It was 100 percent wrong. Nobody got it right. Not one public poll,” Parscale said. Parscale’s remarks came hours before Trump’s rally Tuesday evening in Orlando, Fla., where he formally announced his bid for a second term in the White House. A Quinnipiac University poll released Tuesday, also ahead of the president’s formal launch event, showed Trump trailing former Vice President Joe Biden and Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders among registered voters in the nation’s largest swing state.
Republican National Committee Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel also sought to de-emphasize the importance of polling 17 months ahead of the general election, telling Fox News in an interview Monday that “it’s way too early to be looking at” surveys of the 2020 landscape.
