Trump Demands CNN 'Retract' Poll That Shows Him Losing Badly

Donald Trump's reelection campaign sent a letter to CNN on Wednesday demanding the network retract a poll that shows Trump losing to presumptive Democratic nominee Joe Biden by 14 points.

The campaign claims the poll was "designed to mislead American voters through a biased questionnaire and skewed sampling."

"It's a stunt and a phony poll to cause voter suppression, stifle momentum and enthusiasm for the President, and present a false view generally of the actual support across America for the President," reads letter, which was sent by the campaign's senior legal adviser, Jenna Ellis, and chief operating officer Michael Glassner.

CNN's poll, which showed Trump losing to Biden 41 percent to 55 percent, was the worst finding of any high-quality national poll that's been released in the past few days.

But no recent national polls have shown Trump winning. And that's led to unease from GOP lawmakers, who fear if Trump doesn't make a change, he could take the Republican-controlled Senate down with him in November.

CNN says it has no plan to retract the survey. "We stand by our poll," CNN spokesman Matt Dornic said.
