(CNN) President Donald Trump's campaign fired several pollsters after internal polling numbers that showed the President lagging behind Democratic presidential candidates in key states were made public, according to multiple sources.
CNN and other outlets first reported the numbers -- which showed Trump trailing Joe Biden in states like Michigan and Wisconsin -- weeks ago, but a purge of the polling team was proposed after Trump grew angry about coverage of the numbers in recent days. Campaign officials were frustrated after the detailed numbers of four of the 17 states polled leaked to outlets like ABC last week.

They just came out with a very unfavorable poll.

Trump would have gladly leaked concocted poll numbers, and would have praised his "fantastic" pollsters for their diligent work. It's real honest-to-goodness ones that drive him crazy.

Must enjoy working with numbers from 60 to 110.
