As President Trump prepares to officially kick off his re-election campaign in Orlando Tuesday night, his numbers are, as he is fond of saying, “not good, folks.”

In a new poll of ruby red Texas, less than 40 percent of voters say they would “definitely” re-elect Mr. Trump. Numbers released over the weekend by the president’s favorite media outlet, Fox News, show him trailing Joe Biden, Senator Bernie Sanders and other Democrats. His internal numbers may be even worse, putting him behind Mr. Biden by double digits in Michigan, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania.

In response, Mr. Trump fired some of his pollsters.

“We are winning in every single state that we polled,” he told reporters in the Oval Office. “They were fake polls that were either put out by the corrupt media.”
