For months, poll after poll on the presidential race has put Donald Trump ahead of Joe Biden nationally. That abruptly changed this week, when Fox News (of all places) released a survey indicating that the tables have now turned. Naturally, as Bess Levin [wrote]( Friday, the former president was apoplectic, accusing the network of being “biased” against him—yet more evidence of his “persecution complex,” as Molly Jong-Fast [dubbed]( it in her column earlier this week, calling out Trump’s penchant for projection. Elsewhere, on this week’s episode of Inside the Hive, political reporters Tina Nguyen and Isaac Arnsdorf [discussed]( why Steve Bannon remains such a powerful fixture in the MAGA-verse, even as he looks down the barrel of a four-month prison sentence. Zooming out from politics to sports, Tom Kludt [chatted]( with women’s soccer phenom Trinity Rodman about turning a new leaf after last year’s “chaotic” World Cup. Plus, Donald Liebenson [penned]( a poignant obituary of the late Willie Mays, the MLB Hall of Famer whose formidable hitting, fielding, and stealing leave a big legacy for the seasons to come. See you back on Monday. —Jon Skolnik, associate editor [Image may contain: Donald Trump, People, Person, Crowd, Electrical Device, Microphone, Adult, Accessories, and Formal Wear]( [Trump Throws Predictable Conniption Fit Over Fox Poll Putting Joe Biden Ahead]( By [Bess Levin]( [“The latest Fox News poll is TRASH!” he ranted to his followers.]( [Read more button](   [How Prison Time Could Burnish Steve Bannon’s MAGA Cred: “It’s Amazing Clout”]( By [Brian Stelter]( [Puck national correspondent Tina Nguyen and Washington Post national political reporter Isaac Arnsdorf also discuss the significance of Bannon’s War Room podcast, which they argue has made him an “indispensable voice” for Donald Trump.]( [Read more button](   [Donald Trump’s Persecution Complex]( By [Molly Jong-Fast]( [The king of projection accuses others of “unhinged” behavior and threatening democracy.
