Trump is apparently afraid to even MENTION the Fox News poll this month

Last month he complained about it and attacked Fox:

Not a peep out of him about the Fox News poll released yesterday, which has 4 Democratic candidates beating him, with Biden beating him by the widest margin, 12%.

Instead, Trump's been trying to bolster his ego by retweeting Ghouliani's compliments on his NH rally, and boasting about record attendance at that arena, supposedly even better than an Elton John concert (but I saw a tweet explaining that Elton John concert used three giant screens blocking off a large area behind the stage where tickets weren't sold).

Trump got some pushback from Fox News last month after he slammed their polling as inaccurate.

This month he's apparently hoping the deplorables miss the news about the poll.

Editing to add that I just spent some time checking Twitter for any posts about the new poll being discussed on Fox & Friends this morning.

Nothing. Not even a single post about the F&F hosts downplaying it, as they did last month.

So I'm guessing they didn't even bring it up.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden

... they can't tell him anything but fake positive news? So many things I can't wrap my head around.

always trying to clean up the messes Trump creates for himself, always trying to function in an alternate reality and avoid the tantrums that follow Trump bruising his tender ego on reality.

To be fair, the rally was scheduled to begin at 7:30 pm and the picture was taken at , but given Fat Donnie penchant for showing up late (thereby letting everyone see that he has arrived), this was probably taken an hour after he began speaking.

This says a lot for a Fox News poll that has Biden 31, Warren 20, Sanders 10, Harris 8...

There was another interesting finding in that poll -- that voters who don't like either Biden or Trump will still go 43-10 for Biden. In 2016 voters who didn't like either Trump or HRC broke for Trump.
