Trump Calls Out NBC For Citing A CNN Poll Over Their Own Poll

VIDEO TRANSCRIPT:

Savannah Guthrie: “Let’s turn now to Donald Trump, he joins us on the phone. Mr. Trump, good morning to you.”

Donald Trump: “Good morning, Savannah.”

Guthrie: “I will mention at the top, because I know you’ll remind me if I don’t, that you still lead in every single poll, but this latest national poll by CNN does show a decrease for you.”

Donald Trump called out the network for promoting a CNN poll over their own NBC poll.

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. And I don’t understand why NBC is using a CNN poll, which was also a good poll, I’m leading by a lot. But the NBC poll that you announced yesterday was fantastic. And you didn’t talk about that.”

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.”

Guthrie: “Well, I should have mentioned our NBC poll by name, but I did say at the outset that you are leading in every poll and I meant…”

Trump: “I know, but you put up the CNN poll, you didn’t put up the NBC poll.”

Mr. Trump questioned why NBC would intentionally hide their own poll numbers.

Trump: “And you’re the ones that are paying for the NBC poll, so I don’t get it, other than the NBC poll is a very good poll for Trump.”

Guthrie: “It’s a good poll for Trump by the way the CNN poll is a good one for you too, sir.”

Trump: “That’s true.”

Guthrie: “You’re leading by double digits.”

Trump: “NBC was better.”

Guthrie: “Thank you for your time. We always appreciate it.”

Trump: “Thank you very much, Savannah.”

Willie Geist: “Yeah, Donald’s up 15 in that NBC survey/Monkey survey.”
