Donald Trump supporters are just making up data now to make him look good.

Results from a “shock” poll shared by one of Donald Trump’s surrogates started trending on X Monday, telling 1.4 million people that the Republican presidential nominee was gaining ground on Vice President Kamala Harris in New Mexico.

But none of it appears to be real.

MAGA ally Richard Grennell, who served as the acting director of national intelligence during Trump’s administration, posted the sourceless numbers to his X account, claiming that Harris only had a three-point lead on the former president in the battleground state. But that alleged narrow lead made light of other recent surveys, including one published in the Albuquerque Journal on Monday, which showed Harris with a  nine-point lead, three times more than Grennell suggested.

Trump surrogates are literally fabricating polls at this point to make their supporters think a victory is inevitable,” wrote Democratic strategist and pollster Matt McDermott in response to Grennell’s post. “No poll shows this in New Mexico.”

    Yes. They’re making up all the bullshit pretext for another attempt at overthrowing a fair election. They’ve been doing it for weeks.

      So strange to define a span of years as weeks.

      Exactly. I expect to see one of these types of reports for almost every state in the next week or two.

    Whether or not this poll is real doesn’t matter. The reality is that this election is literally a 50-50 coin toss right now, so you have to do everything you can to help Harris win!!! Volunteer to make calls, speak to your friends and family and make sure they have a specific plan to go vote, offer car rides or baby sitting to help people actually get to the voting booth, - whatever you can think of doing!!!

    So… it’s the same as he’s always done?

    remember when he was surprised he actually won in 2016?

          Well she didn’t move to the Whitehouse until several months after Don.
