Lara Trump dismisses recent polling, says Trump supporters 'scared' to voice support for president
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Trump 2020 campaign senior adviser Lara Trump said that Democrats can't "compete" against President Trump, following a Kentucky rally Monday.
"Look at his rally. How can you compete against that? They can't do it," Trump said on "The Ingraham Angle." "So they're trying to throw impeachment at him."
TRUMP ISN'T ON THE BALLOT, BUT HE'S FRONT-AND-CENTER IN KEY UPCOMING STATE ELECTIONS

"But at the Trump campaign, we're welcoming that because internally we've actually seen the numbers for President Trump go up, thanks to Nancy Pelosi calling for impeachment, three points since she called for this impeachment nonsense," Trump said. "Voters aren't buying it."
Overall, 42 percent of voters approve of Trump’s job performance and 57 percent disapprove, according to the latest Fox News poll. That’s little changed since early October.

"They're scared to post on social media. They're scared to wear a hat or a shirt supporting him out there. They're also scared to talk to pollsters and they're not being honest with them. So to us, those numbers don't mean a whole lot."

Trump made the case that the president has more supporters than the polling shows, citing the rally.
