Donald Trump, dismissive of campaign pollsters, hired his own

Donald Trump, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee who long dismissed the usefulness of campaign pollsters, has hired pollster Tony Fabrizio. Fabrizio’s hiring is part of a broader Trump campaign effort to professionalize its operations in order to prepare for a general election campaign against likely Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton. During the Republican primary, the poll-obsessed Trump boasted that he doesn’t “want to waste money on pollsters” to determine his campaign message.
