Trump claims Democrats are making up polls

Donald Trump claimed Monday that Democrats are making up poll numbers to suppress his candidacy. 

“Major story that the Dems are making up phony polls in order to suppress the the Trump. We are going to WIN!” Trump tweeted.

{mosads}Though it is not clear which polls the GOP presidential nominee is referring to, a number of recent surveys show Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton leading by as many as 12 points.

Some conservatives have questioned the way polls showing Clinton with a big lead have been conducted. 

The website Zerohedge.com, for example, argued that recent polls from Reuters, The Washington Post and ABC could be including a disproportionate number of registered Democrats. 

As Trump drops in the polls, he has suggested that if he loses the White House it will be because of widespread voter fraud. 

Trump has seen a drop in support following the release of a 2005 video of Trump bragging about kissing and grabbing women without their consent. 

Since then, at least 11 women have accused Trump of unwanted sexual touching.
