“This month, GOP operatives and others close to Donald Trump have grown increasingly nervous over trends they’ve seen in recent private polling data produced by different Republican organizations and conservative allies.” Rolling Stone reports.
“It’s not just the swing-state polling or the national surveys that are causing distress lately. The anxiety-spiking numbers are coming out of Trump strongholds like Ohio and Florida, according to three GOP sources, including two people close to the former president, who have reviewed the private polls.”
Said one GOP operative: “They’re looking worse than they should. Donald Trump is not losing Florida or Ohio, but that isn’t what’s concerning… It’s a trend of softening support.”
