Trump responded with a screenshot of the Real Clear Politics average, which over the past few weeks has shown Harris steadily sinking in the polls.
“Based on your tanking poll numbers, what’s definitely a joke is your entire campaign,” Trump wrote, adding, “Yikes!”:

The current Real Clear Politics average shows Mayor Pete Buttigieg (D) overtaking Harris’s fourth-place position, dropping the California lawmaker to fifth place with just 4.5 percent support, more than 20 percentage points short of both Joe Biden (D) and Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA).
