Data from President Donald Trump's first internal reelection campaign poll conducted in March, obtained exclusively by ABC News, showed him losing a matchup by wide margins to former Vice President Joe Biden in key battleground states.

Trump has repeatedly denied that such data exists.

The polling data, revealed for the first time by ABC News, showed a double-digit lead for Biden in Pennsylvania 55-39 and Wisconsin 51-41 and had Biden leading by seven points in Florida. In Texas, a Republican stronghold, the numbers showed the president only leading by two points.

ABC News did not obtain the poll’s early matchups against other candidates.

The New York Times was first to report the existence of the internal polls.

When presented by ABC News with these numbers, the Trump campaign confirmed the data saying in a statement that the numbers were old and that they have seen huge swings in Trump’s favor.

1. Many people are saying that there have been huge swings in Trump's favor since then.

2. What people are saying that?

3. The same people who think the mayor of a small town is

ready to be president?

Biden is crushing Trump in all the polls.

5. I suspect it's sarcasm.

The article notes that the Trump administration used almost exactly the same verbiage to explain away the polls. "Many people" is a pretty common Trumpism.

Just a guess, though. I could be wrong.

7. You were right

I thought it was obvious, but I was wrong.

6. It was a joke, a reference to Trump using that phrase

when he has no facts to back up what he's saying.

9. I thought it was sarcasm,

but you can't tell tone of voice on the internet.
