Martha MacCallum: New polling numbers are a 'big wake-up call' for President Trump

With recent polls showing Joe Biden and other Democrats ahead of President Trump in 2020, Fox News host Martha MacCallum said the current administration has cause for concern. At least six Democratic presidential candidates would beat the president if the election was today, according to the latest Quinnipiac University survey. Although we're still a while away from that, MacCallum said during a Wednesday appearance on "America's Newsroom" that Trump's campaign should certainly take note of those numbers.

"There is a big wake-up call here for President Trump in these numbers," MacCallum said.

Quinnipiac University survey

They aren’t legit polls. People won’t even say they are voting for Trump out of fear for their life because even wearing a MAGA hat makes them a target for violence.

Trump needs to do something about the invasion by the illegals.

Stop the flow..then ship them back home. How did all those Africans end up in San Antonio?

Virtually every poll from the summer of 2016 to November’s election...indicated Hillary would win by millions of votes. None of that matters, if you win thirty key states.

I remember people here in 2016 sharing images of news articles from early to mid 1980 warning of the lead Carter had over Reagan.

Gee, haven't we seen this nonsense about polls before? How quickly they forget. In fact, Australia just had an election where all the polls were proven wrong.

Does anyone believe this?

Polling is now used for something it was never intended, to control elections and sway voters. IMO it should be made illegal with a minimum 5 year sentence without parole if found doing it.

and the polls say .... hitlery wins

[BBQToadRibs]

MS Media polls attempting again to be persuasive rather than predictive.

[DoodleDawg]

Eighteen months out. Polls are worthless.

I like Martha, but she was better at news than opinion....

[Old Retired Army Guy]

Why does Fox report these kind of polls but they never mention the Rasmussen Daily Presidential Approval Poll which today show his approval at 51%?

[Mr. K]

CNN has 300,000 viewers

Rush, Hannity, LEvin, et al have over 30 million.

Why does CNN still drive the daily news topic?

STEP UP GUYS! YOU CAN CONTROL THE NARRATIVE.

STOP REPORTING WHAT CNN SAYS- YOU JUST INCREASE THEIR REACH TEN-FOLD.

Political polling nowadays is completely worthless....which makes these polls worthless

How many people have a landline still in their home to be polled ?

I would never answer a poll as a Trump supporter.

[HamiltonJay]

No they aren’t, they are manipulation and laughable...

As someone pointed out (correctly I might add) that they offered respondents a 4th option in their affiliation R, D, I or “Something Else”

Then they applied those “something else” to the I, completely destroying the weighting of the survey..

Because if you are a socialist, or a communist, or some other left wing radical (or even right wing radical) and you are not limited to D, R or I, you are going to respond with What you Feel you are... So you wound up with the far left being in the “something else” 8% and then added that to the I’s completely throwing off the weighting and adjustments... overrepresenting the far extremes of the parties within the independent numbers.

The Poll is GARBAGE... pure and simple...
