The normally confident Donald Trump is anticipating unwelcome headlines from a Bloomberg Politics/Des Moines Register Iowa Poll set for release Saturday evening.

At a rally in Des Moines Friday night, the Republican presidential front-runner warned the crowd he's being set up by a hostile media. "The Des Moines Register is the worst. The worst," he declared of the newspaper, which earlier this year editorialized that he should leave the race. "Everytime I have a Des Moines Register Poll, I do poorly. I also do poorly with the Bloomberg polls. I don't know why."
