Donald Trump put NBC’s “Today” show co-anchor Savannah Guthrie on the defensive Monday during a live telephone interview when he called the network out for promoting a CNN poll over an NBC poll because the billionaire had a smaller margin in the CNN survey. The exchange occurs at minute 4:36 of the 5:35-minute interview.

“The only poll you didn't put up was the NBC poll where I'm way at the top, I’m much more than double,” said Trump. “I don't understand why NBC is using a CNN poll, which was also a good poll, I'm leading by a lot.
“Why aren't you talking about your own poll? Why are you showing a CNN poll, which is very good, but not as good as the one you put up yesterday?” Guthrie acknowledged that “I should have mentioned the NBC poll by name.”
Trump didn’t let it go. “You put up the CNN poll, you didn't put up NBC poll and you’re the ones that are paying for the NBC poll so I don't get it other than in the NBC poll is a very good poll for Trump.”
The CNN poll, conducted in the days after the second Republican debate, found that Trump continues to lead the pack of GOP presidential candidates, but that he dropped eight points, going from 32 percent support to 24 percent. In that same poll, Former Hewlett-Packard CEO Carly Fiorina jumped from 3 percent to 15 percent.
In the NBC poll, Trump’s margin over Fiorina was much larger (29 percent to Fiorina’s 11 percent) and the billionaire gained 7 points from a month earlier when that poll showed him with 22 percent support of Republicans and independents.

...Trump said Barack could defend himself.
He should have told him that he once heard Barack Obama refer to his "muslim religion".
...and leave it hanging for George to respond.
Her husband was Al Gore’s Chief of Staff for the 2000 campaign
Trump should just keep it up. Keep pointing out the hypocritical, lying tactics of the main stream media. This strikes a huge chord with anyone who is not on the democrat plantation and gains him some supporters from the undecideds. Americans who are not brainwashed are not oblivious to the destructive, one-sided nature of the democrat loving MSM. It is high time someone went after the commie loving rats in the MSM and we are rooting for him at this point. The more he does this the better IMO.
Doesn’t matter what they say about you as long as they get your name right.
I’m waiting for Jeb Bush to speak out publicly about Trump’s “lack of civility” for arguing with NBC and not fully trusting their motives.

What the heck are you talking about? Trump made NBC millions of dollars in ad revenue so in essence he was signing their paychecks. They begged him not to run for pres so they could do another series of The Apprentice. Trump said no, my country needs me.

Thank you!
Would you cite this poll?
Go Donald, give them h*ll!
Before this is over I predict a major network news figure is going to crap their pants on live TV.
You win the Internet today, best comment !
I’m guessing these media mouths will soon receive “Truth Defense Training”.
"Diaz," sounds Hispanic to me.

He has famous friends from his time in the capital. In fact, Washington Life magazine covered his 40th birthday party. It was celebrated at Press Secretary Joe Lockhart’s house with guests like Jon Bon Jovi. U2 even presented him with a recording of them singing “Happy Birthday.”

It was hilarious.
I could imagine Mike Huckabee giving the press fits.
