Conservative author David Horowitz says national polls showing Joe Biden leading in the 2020 presidential race don’t show the full picture and that voters will re-elect President Donald Trump because “our cities are burning."
“We’re living in a country in fear. People are afraid to say what they think,” Horowitz told Newsmax TV’s “Spicer & Co.” Friday.
“They’re afraid to tell pollsters how they’re going to vote because people have had their careers wrecked and ruined. This poor woman was murdered – a mother of a small child killed because she said everyone’s life matters. I don’t think people are responding to these telephone calls.”
Horowitz, the author of “Blitz: Trump Will Smash the Left and Win,” was referring to the July 5 murder of Jessica Doty Whitaker in Indiana.
Whitaker, 24, was targeted for saying “all lives matter,” according to her family.
Horowitz also suggested the polls may be skewed because of a “rigged media.”
“It’s a disgrace. It’s never been this bad … not in my lifetime has the media been so dishonest, so why wouldn’t the pollsters be dishonest,” Horowitz said.
Biden holds a double-digit lead over Trump in a Quinnipiac national poll and by 8.1 points in a RealClearPolitics moving average of national polls.
