Trump: “As far as the polls are concerned, 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.

Guthrie: “No, I meant to, well I tried to.”
Trump: “Why aren’t you talking…? I’m just saying this: 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.”
