Polls are telling Donald Trump the truth, but he's not listening

By BYRON YORK (@BYRONYORK) • 6/27/16 11:31 PM

Polls used to tell Donald Trump something. They told him he was winning the Republican primary race, that his message and style were connecting with voters, that he was more popular than any of his rivals.

Trump talked about polls all the time, at his rallies, his news conferences, his interviews with reporters. Day and night, it was polls, polls, polls.

And by the way, the polls were right — and Trump was right about the polls. He really was winning the GOP race.

Now the polls are telling Trump something else. He's not winning. He's behind Hillary Clinton by a substantial amount in national polls and by smaller amounts in key state polls. The polls tell him he is in deep trouble with major voting groups — like Republicans, and women — without whose substantial support he can't win.

He wants attention and adoration and to increase the value of his brand so he can make more money.
