Maybe just coincidence, but Trump's 7/25 call to Ukrainian prez was same time as Fox News Poll

showing for the third month in a row that Biden would beat him by double digits:

https://www.foxnews.com/politics/fox-news-poll-july-25

It says there that news about the questions asking about those GE match-ups was embargoed until after 6 pm EDT on the 25th, but with Trump's Fox News contacts, I'm sure the White House knew about the poll results by the 24th, when the first results from the poll were released.

The poll has Biden beating Trump 49-39. It had been 49-39 in June, and 49-38 in May, just a couple of weeks after Biden's announcement, at the height of his polling.

By July many Biden critics were hoping that his poll numbers would be much worse, especially after Harri's attack on him in the first debate.

But the Fox News poll showed Biden just as strong against Trump as before.
