Refusing to acknowledge just how unpopular he is, Trump assigned himself to be the campaign&#8217;s featured spokesperson as he embarked on a month-long nationwide tour of exclusively red states. Sadly, even with that itinerary he wasn&#8217;t eagerly welcomed by the GOP candidates struggling to avoid defeat.<\/p>\n<p><strong>SEE THIS: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=71118\" target=\"_blank\">Cockeyed Narcissist Trump On the Election: He Thinks He Himself \u2018Turned the Whole Thing Around\u2019<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Among the MAGA-tists fooling themselves about their impending electoral fate is the GOP Squeaker of the House, MAGA Mike Johnson. Shielding himself from the likely outcome that banishes him from the Speakers chair, Johnson visited with CNN&#8217;s Senior Trump-Fluffer, Scott Jennings, to unleash a shocking declaration of political intrigue involving a conspiracy hatched by America&#8217;s pollsters&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;The polling is wrong, okay? Everybody understands the polls have been off. They overestimate Democrats and underrepresent Republicans. They blame Republicans. of course, because they say conservatives don&#8217;t answer polls anymore. They learn not to trust. They know who that person is on the other side of the phone.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;IT&#8217;S A PSYOP! They&#8217;re trying to create this idea of a blue wave.

Dozens of unaffiliated pollsters have all gotten together to fabricate their survey results in order to depress Republican voters so badly that they will abandon any desire to actually cast their votes. Never mind that bad polls can often motivate voters to turnout in greater numbers to avoid losing. They can also suppress the votes of the other side who might feel so confident of victory that their vote isn&#8217;t necessary and they stay home.<\/p>\n<p>In other words, poll results can pull both ways. And in the end their impact on altering an election outcome is negligible. But undeterred by reason &#8211; or reality &#8211; Johnson dispenses his oblivious opinions as if they were fact. What&#8217;s more, he doesn&#8217;t account for how this alleged conspiracy formed between pollsters that have no business or political relationship. In fact, the notoriously conservative pollsters are producing surveys that are generally aligned with those from more traditional sources.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"bluesky-embed\" data-bluesky-uri=\"at:\/\/did:plc:fviqe3xscfdntuwbuzppqetg\/app.bsky.feed.post\/3mze7dn66l22r\" data-bluesky-cid=\"bafyreiekgs47tsniruk7njjw2wczsehoy5lrplnjwwozbknskmlv3pp4yu\">\n<p lang=\"en\">On Election Eve Trump&#39;s approval polling is in the 30s according to the RealClear Politics average of polls.The polls highlighted in yellow are all right-leaning pollsters.<\/p>\n<p>&mdash; <a href=\"https:\/\/bsky.app\/profile\/did:plc:fviqe3xscfdntuwbuzppqetg?ref_src=embed\">News Corpse (@newscorpse.bsky.social)<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/bsky.app\/profile\/did:plc:fviqe3xscfdntuwbuzppqetg\/post\/3mze7dn66l22r?ref_src=embed\">2026-11-02T20:52:33.044Z<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/embed.bsky.app\/static\/embed.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>Obviously, Johnson wants to incentivize Republican voters to go to the polls.
