00:00 in our campaign, especially one that's as hard fought as this,

00:03 and one that's so full of lies, so full of misrepresentations

00:07 being made.

00:08 I think, you know, whether the press thinks

00:10 I'm good, bad, or indifferent, I think

00:12 they acknowledge that there's less than truth comes out

00:14 of the other guy's mouth.

00:16 And you know, you wouldn't know it

00:18 from what you're reading here, but you know,

00:21 we're in pretty good shape in the polls.

00:24 And I know you're all activists, so that's

00:25 why I'm bothering to tell you this.

00:27 The polls don't win you an election.

00:29 But in the last 23 national polls,

00:34 I've been ahead in 10 of them.

00:35 Trump's been ahead in eight, and we've been tied in five.

00:39 More importantly, the momentum's clearly in our favor.

00:42 For example, we moved eight points

00:44 from the latest Marquette poll and seven points

00:46 to the Echelon poll.

00:48 And the Marist poll now has us up by three nationwide.

00:51 The point I'm making is people are beginning to listen.

00:54 This is a time people begin to focus and listen.

00:57 They have generic impressions up to now,

01:00 but now they're listening, and they're beginning to listen.

01:04 And so this campaign's--

01:06 how many offices have we opened now total?

01:10 Where's my--

01:11 133.

01:12 100.

01:13 We've opened 100?

01:14 [APPLAUSE]

01:20 133 offices.

01:21 And here you go.

01:24 That's the note I have.

01:26 And here in Florida, we're opening coordinated offices,

01:28 hiring staff, and recruiting volunteers as well.

01:31 But I know we can do this.

01:33 I've never been more optimistic.

01:34 I know I've been saying this for a long time.

01:37 I've never been more optimistic about America than I am today.
