Oof. The new ABC News-Washington Post poll released Sunday has Donald Trump losing to Hillary Clinton 51%-39% among registered voters:

Trump responded to the news by calling the poll “dishonest,” “dirty” and retweeting a supporter who thinks the result is “fake,” just like the polls taken during the primary:
The @ABC poll sample is heavy on Democrats. Very dishonest – why would they do that? Other polls good!

The "dirty" poll done by @ABC @washingtonpost is a disgrace. Even they admit that many more Democrats were polled. Other polls were good.

"@JimVitari: @ABC @washingtonpost we know they're fake just like poles during primary. I'm sure u will crush #CrookedHillary in general"
