A
Rasmussen Reports poll released on Thursday claimed 47 percent of voters surveyed believe it’s likely that Democrats “stole votes or destroyed pro-Trump ballots in several states” to ensure that Joe Biden defeated
Donald Trump. Conversely, approximately half of the voters polled disagreed with the sentiment.
More specifically, 61 percent of Republicans claimed that it’s “very likely” Democrats stole the election, while the same portion of Democrats said it’s “not at all likely.” Among individuals not affiliated with a party, 29 percent believe the referendum was stolen, and 45 percent believe it wasn’t.
The survey also found that views on Trump conceding vary by party affiliation. While 84 percent of Democrats believe that Trump should concede, 57 percent of Republicans disagree.
Rasmussen also found that faith in the integrity of the election has declined since Election Day.
“Just two weeks before this year’s Election Day, 94% said their vote would be correctly recorded and counted, with 73% who said it was Very Likely. Following the election, those findings fell to 71%and 47% respectively.”
Interestingly, the poll found that just 51 percent of voters believe their friends and neighbors think Trump should concede. Thirty percent believe they would disagree, and 18 percent are not sure. In a piece for
Breitbart, John Nolte argued that these are the most critical findings because top pollsters have suggested the question more accurately captures the “true intent of the person being surveyed.”
