Trump campaign manager says polls understate president's support

President Trump’s new campaign manager Bill Stepien said Friday that the president’s support is underrepresented in public polls and that surveys showing Joe Biden leading by big margins do not accurately reflect the state of the race.
In a Zoom presentation with reporters, Stepien painted a rosy picture of the president’s standing in the race and dismissed surveys showing Biden building up a big lead.
The campaign manager said his analysis of public polls found that they routinely under-sample Republican voters. He also pointed to voter registration trends in six battleground states that he said found a growing number of Republican voters and shrinking number of Democratic voters over the past decade.
And Stepien pointed to polling errors from 2016, when most of the battleground surveys and national polls showed Democrat Hillary Clinton winning on Election Day.
