Trump camp says leaked internal polls showing Biden ahead are 'ancient' and 'meaningless'

President Trump’s campaign acknowledged Friday having internal polling earlier this year that showed Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden well ahead of Trump in several battleground states, though the campaign is insisting those numbers are “ancient” and “meaningless” now.

The acknowledgment came after ABC News on Friday published the details of the Trump campaign’s internal polling from March showing Biden ahead of Trump by as much as 16 points in Pennsylvania, 10 points in Wisconsin and seven points in Florida. It also showed Trump ahead by just two points in Texas.

Campaign Manager Brad Parscale, in a statement to Fox News, argued those numbers are out-of-date and “should not be given any weight when discussing the current state of the race.”

“These leaked numbers are ancient, in campaign terms, from months-old polling that began in March before two major events had occurred: the release of the summary of the Mueller report exonerating the president, and the beginning of the Democrat candidates defining themselves with their far-left policy message,” Parscale said.

Sounds like Pascale probably got an angry call from his boss.
