Breaking with media polls, Trump debate strategy to pummel Biden on corruption
"The mainstream media polls — they're not asking these questions at all, they're not acknowledging that this ever happened," says Trump pollster John McLaughlin.

Breaking with conventional mainstream media wisdom about voters' top election concerns, part of President Trump's strategy will be to pummel rival Joe Biden on corruption allegations during Thursday's presidential debate in Nashville.
In a race that could hinge on questions of character, a Trump campaign pollster told Just the News that mainstream media polling questions asking voters to pick their top issues of concern from a list usually don't include corruption or scandals such as the Hunter Biden/Burisma investigation or FISA abuse among the options listed.
For example, recent polling from Gallup recently gave registered voters a list of 16 issues to rank in order of importance for their vote. None of those 16 options included questions around government accountability or corruption or surveillance of the 2016 Trump campaign and alleged FISA abuse.
A recent Pew Research Center survey employed a similar methodology with 12 issues, none of which included government integrity or public trust as an option.
