Trump berated Parscale over the poll numbers and even threatened to sue him at one point, CNN reported, noting that it's not clear how serious the president's threat was.

People briefed on the call told the Times that Parscale replied, “I love you, too.”
Spokespeople for the White House and Trump campaign were not immediately available for comment.
Two sources told CNN that Trump and Parscale patched things up later Friday night.
Two days before Trump lashed out at Parscale, the president had been briefed by his campaign manager and several top political advisers on internal campaign and Republican National Committee (RNC) data that showed him heading for a loss in key 2020 battleground states, CNN reported.

Trump complained to aides that his restricted travel has hurt his numbers, not the briefings, CNN reported.
Trump and Biden, as well as other political candidates, have had to shift their campaigns to focus on virtual events amid the coronavirus pandemic, which has limited large social gatherings.
Several recent polls in swing states found Biden leading Trump. A Quinnipiac University poll released earlier this month found Biden with an 8-point lead over Trump in Florida, and a Fox News poll released last week found Biden with an 8-point lead over Trump in Michigan.
