Congressmen
Political contributors

Political strategists
Voters

And more than any of the above, tRump himself. His malignant narcissism demands it.

Not at all.

Trump is obsessed with polls, and brags about them the instant one (usually Rasmussen) changes to his benefit. We have seen this a number of times, he knows right away when poll numbers change.

He mentioned polls in the primaries a lot, when he was looking comparatively good compared to rivals. He used low poll numbers as a dig.

Trump saw Joe Biden's strong lead in early polling of the Democratic field this past year and immediately saw him as a threat to be dealt with. In fact, he became reckless.

Ratings are also a form of poll, he is completely focused on ratings as well when he finds it convenient, like when he wanted to strike back at Arnold Schwarzenegger and some other media personalities for some perceived slights.

Kellyanne Conway is a Republican pollster and political consultant. This work is how she became connected to Trump's campaign, and she remains close to the president.

Yep, that will likely be the only poll taken where Trump wins again.

I mean the tally of votes on Election Night, not what CNN predicts the day of.

I'll never forget watching Wolf Blitzer basically go incontinent as the results started coming in in 2016.
