VIDEO TRANSCRIPT:
Savannah Guthrie: Let’s turn now to Donald Trump, he joins us on the phone. Mr. Trump, good morning to you.
Donald Trump: Good morning, Savannah.
Guthrie: I will mention at the top, because I know you’ll remind me if I don’t, that you still lead in every single poll, but this latest national poll by CNN does show a decrease for you.
Donald Trump called out the network for promoting a CNN poll over their own NBC poll.
Trump: As far as the polls are concerned, the only poll you didn’t put up was the NBC poll where I’m way at the top, I’m much more than double. And I don’t understand why NBC is using a CNN poll, which was also a good poll, I’m leading by a lot. But the NBC poll that you announced yesterday was fantastic. And you didn’t talk about that.
Guthrie: No, I meant to, well I tried to.
Trump: Why aren’t you talking…? I’m just saying this: Why aren’t you talking about your own poll? Why are you showing a CNN poll? Which is very good, but not as good as the one you put up yesterday.
Guthrie: Well, I should have mentioned our NBC poll by name, but I did say at the outset that you are leading in every poll and I meant…
Trump: I know, but you put up the CNN poll, you didn’t put up the NBC poll.
Mr. Trump questioned why NBC would intentionally hide their own poll numbers.
Trump: And you’re the ones that are paying for the NBC poll, so I don’t get it, other than the NBC poll is a very good poll for Trump.
Guthrie: It’s a good poll for Trump by the way the CNN poll is a good one for you too, sir.
Trump: That’s true.
Guthrie: You’re leading by double digits.
Trump: NBC was better.
Guthrie: Thank you for your time. We always appreciate it.
Trump: Thank you very much, Savannah.
Willie Geist: Yeah, Donald’s up 15 in that NBC survey/Monkey survey.
Is this an instance of Trump being unfairly single out by the media?
