The View hosts speculate that Trump’s 10-point poll lead was either an ‘anomaly’ or the pollsters were ‘high’

The View hosts attempted to explain “what is going on” with a new Washington Post and ABC poll showing former President Donald Trump leading President Joe Biden by 10 points among voters.

Co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin repeated the Washington Post’s description of the poll as being an “outlier.”

Griffin went on to explain her skepticism of polls.

“They were wrong in 2016. They were wrong in 2020, but you can take information on aggregate when a lot of polls show the same thing over a period of time in different voters. [It’s a] one-off that is so far out of step with other polling … an anomaly in the poll,” she said Monday morning.

She further clarified that she “trusted” her parent company, ABC’s pollsters, whom she called “phenomenal.”

Griffin then conceded that the current president does have a “reelection problem” and “Democrats need to wake up to it, whether they want to hear it or not.”

She dug into the numbers expressing surprise that Trump was “doing significantly better than 2020” with “black voters and Hispanic voters.”

“One area where Democrats have been losing in the Trump era is working-class voters. I think in many ways they are seen as too elitist for people who don’t have college educations, and Donald Trump could get those voters,” the former Trump White House communications director said, previewing Biden’s trip to Michigan on Tuesday to walk the picket line and win over striking United Auto Workers union members.

“I don’t want Donald Trump to be president, but Democrats need to wake up,” Griffin concluded.

Co-host Sonny Hostin chimed in that she wanted to wait and see the polling after the first trial.

Host Ana Navarro then quipped that she thought that the pollsters of ABC were on drugs.

“I don’t know what happened with this ABC poll. I don’t know if the people asking the questions were high or the people answering the questions were high,” Navarro joked. “But somebody has got to have been on some edibles or something else because this poll is just off the charts.”

“I have a legal note,” Hostin followed up on Navarro’s comments with clarification from show producers while pressing her finger to her in-ear receiver. “Nobody at ABC that was conducting the poll was high.”

She added, “I’m just doing what was told.”
