Despite consistent claims that he’s winning, Donald Trump on Monday conceded during a radio interview broadcast to a Charlotte audience that he’s trailing in the polls.

“I think we’re gonna have — whether it’s Brexit or beyond Brexit, I think we’re gonna have a Brexit situation,” Trump told Charlotte Morning News’ Bo Thompson, referring to the British referendum in which voters decided to leave the European Union. “You know, that one was behind in the polls, and I guess I’m somewhat behind in the polls but not by much. I mean, in your state, I’m one point, two points and even in three polls. One point, two points and even.”

According to RealClearPolitics, though, Clinton leads by a margin of one to four in six recent surveys. She leads Trump by an average of 2.5 percentage points in its average of North Carolina polls.

Earlier Monday, Trump told his nearly 13 million Twitter followers that he’s winning the election, even citing a Rasmussen national poll in which he leads by 2 percentage points, 43 percent to 41 percent, as evidence. “We are winning and the press is refusing to report it,” Trump alleged in a tweet. “Don't let them fool you- get out and vote! #DrainTheSwamp on November 8th!”

1. Is Rasmussen just an outlier?

Do they use different methodologies? Or is the media trying to make HRC supporters complacent? Can't help it, I'm a true conspiracy theorist.

2. In EV polling, sucking an egg is more like it.

The Nevada Early Voting -- raw vote lead in urban Nevada for the Democrats is close to 21,000.

4. I'm glad the Democrats are...

...taking a sizeable lead in Nevada. But I don't think it is fair to release results before the election is over. Seems unfair to those that haven't made up their minds.

7. They're not results

Good Lord.

Nobody even counts the votes until election day. Who has voted, and their registration status, however, is public information.

3. I'm surprised he didn't start on one of his "crooked media poll" tirades.

He's getting soft.

5. Your "somewhat behind" is going to take a spanking on Election Day

you really do have things terribly mixed up

6. Apparently he didn't read that book Dick "Toe sucker" Morris

wrote on the sure way to defeat Hillary

8. I've cracked some of Trump's code

We know this slime bucket is the King of Projection. It's gotten so bad with him he can't control it any longer.

When he says something like "crooked Hillary" it is truly his own business dealings that are crooked. We know it and he knows it.

When he calls her the worst liar ever, well, we know who is really the king of liars, and so does he.

When he says the election is "rigged" he's reminding us about his stint as a casino owner and how he has illegally rigged the slot machines to return a higher % to the house. "This election is SOOOO rigged! It's as rigged as my slot machines!!"

It's gotten to where practically anything this guy says makes me wonder, what is he describing about himself this time?

Poor widdle Donald. He's going down in flames at the hands of a woman and it's eating him alive.

9. so, he is relying on a brexit situation? really, donnie douche?

[ProfessorGAC]

12. He Keeps Saying That About Brexit

But, weren't most of the folks in the know predicting Brexit would go Yes? I don't remember the yes vote as a big surprise. I thought it was a bad idea and that the folks who voted for it didn't think it through very well, but i recall that most of the experts expected it to go through.

So, what's with the constant reference to Brexit?

14. douche boy says that the brexit polls showed it would lose, and the vote surprised everyone.

he is saying the same thing will happen here, that he will win, despite what the polls show.

10. You would have thought they had learned a lesson

after Rove promised the same thing about "winning".

11. And Custer had a little problem w/the Sioux (Lakota)

13. He just said he is up 2% nationwide at a speech in Florida.

He connection to reality was severed along time ago.
