Trump 'Fires Pollsters' after Leak

President Trump's campaign for re-election in 2020 has apparently parted company with a number of pollsters who it claims leaked negative results from a number of key battleground states.

Reports in the US media suggest that pollsters Michael Baselice of Baselice & Associates Inc., 2016 campaign pollster Adam Geller and Brett Lloyd, President and CEO of The Polling Company, are among those fired from the re-election team. Lloyd's firm is part of the business created back in 1995 by White House senior counsellor Kellyanne Conway.

Trump is expected to officially announce he will run for re-election tomorrow, at a rally in Orlando, Florida. Internal poll results suggesting that the President is trailing current Democratic front-runner Joe Biden in four key states were leaked to national outlets including ABC last week - by 39% to 55% in Pennsylvania, 41% to 51% in Wisconsin, and by 7 points in Florida - although the President himself has described the results as 'fake'.

Sources suggest Baselice and Geller will move to working with Trump-backing super PAC America First, while Lloyd will cease working with any Trump-affiliated concerns; and that pollsters Tony Fabrizio and John McLaughlin have not been fired from the re-election campaign.
