Michael Moore has been monitoring public opinion polls in recent days and now appears very worried that President Trump might just get reelected.

The filmmaker has taken to social media to warn Democrats that an increasing number of surveys from CNN, Real Clear Politics and other sources now indicate that Mr. Trump is running neck-and-neck with — or even besting — Joe Biden in the race for the White House.

“Are you ready for a Trump victory? Are you mentally prepared to be outsmarted by Trump again? Do you find comfort in your certainty that there is no way Trump can win? Are you content with the trust you’ve placed in the DNC to pull this off?” Mr. Moore wrote on Facebook over the weekend.

His warnings have been picked up by major news organizations, including Fox News, The Guardian and The Hill.

“The enthusiasm level for the 60 million in Trump’s base is off the charts! For Joe, not so much. Don’t leave it to the Democrats to get rid of Trump. YOU have to get rid of Trump. WE have to wake up every day for the next 67 days and make sure each of us are going to get a hundred people out to vote,” Mr. Moore advised.

He was equally adamant on Twitter, where he led national trends throughout Sunday, getting some 35,000 comments and retweets.

“Someone needs to pull the fire alarm NOW. Where are the stories about Trump gaining on Biden?” he tweeted, citing a poll released Friday in Michigan

“Last week Trump pulled within 4 pts of Biden. Now in one poll Trump is AHEAD of Biden in MI 47-45. Yet so many Dems convinced Trump’ll lose. DANGER!” Mr. Moore wrote.
