Speaking to the National Association of Home Builders at an event in Miami on Thursday, the GOP nominee pushed back at the growing chorus of political analysts who are increasingly predicting an overwhelming victory for Clinton.

“We’re about even in the polls in Florida, and boy the polls are really tightening up,” Trump said. “They’re getting a little bit nervous, with their hundred millions of dollars they’re spending on ads. Clinton is getting a little bit nervous. Crooked Hillary is getting a little bit concerned.”

Clinton, Trump Democratic counterpart, has opened up an 8-point lead in the RealClearPolitics average, her largest since the candidates became their party’s presumptive standard-bearers back in May.

Polls in many battleground states are closer, but Clinton leads in most, and Republicans are beginning to worry they’ll have to defend traditionally red states like Georgia and Arizona in 2016.

Clinton and her allies have been swamping Trump on the airwaves.

A NBC News analysis released this week found that the Clinton campaign had spent $52 million on television ads so far, compared to zero dollars for Trump.

When outside groups are factored in, pro-Clinton forces lead $91 million to $8 million.

The Trump campaign has requested ad rates in 17 states, taking the first step in what could be an expanded presence on the airwaves.

Trump on Thursday said he’s not panicking about the disparity.

“She’s spending hundreds of millions of dollars on ads, hundreds of millions, and a new poll just came out this morning that essentially has us very close to even and I haven’t spent anything,” the billionaire candidate said, referencing a poll from the conservative-leaning Rasmussen that found Clinton leading by 3 points nationally.

“Whatever the number is that she’s got, just hundreds, and they have Trump zero,” he continued. “I said that’s OK. That’s OK. We sit back and wait. We sit back and wait. But we’re doing, I think, very well, maybe better than anybody fully understands, because we have a movement going on.”
