GOP Strategist Says There's 'Concern' At Trump Campaign Over Internal Polls
HuffPost
"I think their internals are actually giving them pause," said Margaret Hoover, a veteran GOP operative.
GOP political strategist Margaret Hoover said she’s heard from Republicans that there is “concern” among Trump campaign operatives that turnout and enthusiasm numbers are lagging.
Former President Donald Trump and his Democratic opponent, Vice President Kamala Harris, are in what polls indicate is a historically close race for the White House, as they battle it out in seven swing states.
On “The Source” Wednesday, CNN’s Kaitlan Collins asked Hoover, a veteran of two presidential campaigns who served in George W. Bush’s White House, what figures campaign operatives would be paying the closest attention to right now.
“I think if you’re the Trump campaign, you’re not looking at CNN’s numbers. You’re looking at your own internals,” said Hoover, who is the great-granddaughter of former President Herbert Hoover.
“And I honestly think — I think their internals are actually giving them pause,” she went on. “They do have a lot of resources for polling, more than ... media companies have, and they’re probably seeing the same things that you guys are talking about, which is that there is real groundswell in the early vote.”
