President Trump told aides to deny that his internal polling showed him trailing former Vice President Joe Biden in key states, according to a new report from The New York Times.
Later, when the polling in 17 states conducted by Tony Fabrizio leaked, Trump told aides to tell reporters that other data showed him doing better, according to the Times story written by Annie Karni and Maggie Haberman.
The polling reportedly showed Trump behind Biden in a number of key states, including Michigan and Pennsylvania Trump won both of those states in the 2016 presidential election, becoming the first Republican to do so since the 1988 election.
The polling also showed Biden beating Trump in Texas, according to the Times.
