ARE DWINDLING AHEAD OF NEXT
WEEK'S FIRST DEBATES.
BRET BURIED >> Bret: PETER,
THANK YOU.
AS WE MENTIONED, PRESIDENT TRUMP
MAY BE TRAILING IN THE LATEST
GENERAL ELECTION POLLS, BUT HE'S
GOT BIG PLANS FOR HIS 2020
CAMPAIGN.
CORRESPONDENT KEVIN CORKE HAS
THAT PART OF THE STORY.
>> THE HEADLINES LIT UP THE
INTERNET CITING THE PRESIDENT'S
OWN INTERNAL CAMPAIGN POLLING
DATA AS WELL AS THE MERIT OF
OTHER INDEPENDENT SURVEYS.
PRESIDENT TRUMP IS TRAILING
BADLY IN HIS BID FOR REELECTION.
DOWN BY DOUBLE DIGITS,
DEMOCRATIC FRONT RUNNER
JOE BIDEN IN FOX NEWS POLL INC.,
TRAILING AND CRUCIAL SWING
STATES LIKE WISCONSIN,
PENNSYLVANIA, AND FLORIDA,
UNDERPERFORMING AND OTHERS LIKE
NORTH CAROLINA AND GEORGIA.
PERHAPS MOST SURPRISING OF ALL,
THE PRESIDENT IS NOT JUST
TRAILING THE FORMER
VICE PRESIDENT.
HE'S TRAILING A HOST OF
DEMOCRATS ACCORDING TO THE
LATEST FOX NEWS SURVEY.
DOWN BY 9 TO BERNIE SANDERS,
BY 2 TO ELIZABETH WARREN.
DOWN BY 1 EACH EACH TO
KAMALA HARRIS AND
PETE BUTTIGIEG.
BUT THE PRESIDENT WHO FAMOUSLY
BEAT THE ODDS AND THE POLLS BACK
IN 2016 ISN'T BUYING IT.
FAKE POLLS, HE TWEETED, NOTING
IT'S FAR TOO EARLY TO BE FOCUSED
ON THAT.
BUT IT'S APPARENTLY NOT TOO
EARLY TO MAKE CHANGES TO HIS
POLLING TEAM.
THE CAMPAIGN HAS REPORTED THE
CUT TIES WITH A TRIO OF POSTERS
BECAUSE OF THE DAMAGING LEAK.
STILL, MORE QUESTIONS ON THE
PRESIDENT'S OWN INTERNAL POLLING
REMAIN LIKE WHY THE SUDDEN
FIXATION OVER A POLE THAT WAS
CONDUCTED ALL THE WAY BACK IN
MID-MARCH?
TO HEAR THE TRUMP CAMPAIGN
TELLER, A POLL THAT OLD MIGHT AS
WELL HAVE BEEN WRITTEN ON
PARCHMENT AND FLOWN BY CARRIER
PIGEON, ANCIENT AND CAMPAIGN
TERMS, SUCH AS 2020 CAMPAIGN
MANAGER.
>> THEY WERE THE WORST-CASE
SCENARIO IN THE MOST UNFAVORABLE
TURNOUT MODEL.
BECAUSE THE TIMING OF THE LEAK,
JUST AHEAD OF THE PRESIDENTS
REELECTION WANT RALLY WAS SAY
WHITE HOUSE OFFICIALS CURIOUS.
PERHAPS NOT MORE SO THAN THE
PRESIDENT'S INSISTENCE TO VISIT
A POLITICALLY RISKY STRATEGY,
THE PUSH TO REPEAL AND REPLACE
OBAMACARE.
THE PRESIDENT SAYS HE WILL
UNVEIL A PLAN TO DO JUST THAT IN
TWO MONTHS' TIME, PROMISING ITS
IMPLEMENTATION IF REPUBLICANS
WIN BACK THE HOUSE IN 2020, A
CLAIM THAT THROUGH CHORTLES FROM
LEADING DEMOCRATS LIKE NEW YORK
SENATOR CHUCK SCHUMER WHO
TWEETED "FOR THREE YEARS,
DONALD TRUMP HAS PROMISED THAT
HIS MAGIC HEALTH CARE PLAN IS
RIGHT AROUND THE CORNER.
AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN AND
AGAIN.
IT NEVER COMES OUT."
>> NEWS ABOUT THE RALLY IN
ORLANDO TOMORROW NIGHT, PEOPLE
ARE ALREADY STARTING TO LINE UP
THERE AT THE CENTER, 100,000
REQUESTS FOR TICKETS TO THAT
