One-Third of American Voters Believe Biden Did Not Win the 2020 Election, Poll
Daily Fetched ^ | January 2, 2024 | Jason Walsh

A new poll revealed that around one-third of American voters said they believe President Joe Biden was not legitimately elected president in 2020.

The Washington Post/University of Maryland (Post-UMD) poll surveyed views surrounding the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol.

Sixty-two percent of U.S. adults say they believe Biden was legitimately elected, down from 69 percent overall in the 2021 poll.

However, the most significant drop was from those who said the 2020 election results were legitimate came from Republicans, 31 percent in 2023.

The number is down from 39 percent two years earlier.

But 91 percent of Democrats say Biden was legitimately elected, a slight dip from 94 percent two years ago.

Sixty-six percent of independents say the incumbent was legitimately elected, down from 72 percent in December 2021.

Among those who get their information from Fox News, only about 3 in 10 people say the president’s election was legitimate, the Post noted.

The Hill reported that this poll comes as Trump remains the GOP front-runner in his bid to return to the White House in 2024 despite facing four criminal indictments with a total of 91 criminal charges.

Trump has maintained that he was the rightful winner of the presidency despite numerous election audits and more than 60 lawsuits that lost in court after failing to prove their claims that the election was unfairly decided.

“To date, we have not seen fraud on a scale that could have affected a different outcome in the election,” Trump’s then-attorney general, Bill Barr, said in the month following the 2020 presidential election, rejecting the former president’s repeated claims of election fraud.

The Post-UMD poll was conducted Dec. 14-18 among 1,024 U.S. adults and has a margin of error of plus or minus 4.1 percentage points, with error margins larger for subgroups.

CNN reported:

Biden’s approval rating for protecting democracy in the U.S. has dipped into negative territory: 44% approve and 55% disapprove.

That stood at a near even 50% approve to 49% disapprove in December. That shift has come fairly evenly across party lines, and in the new poll, 84% of Democrats, 42% of independents, and 7% of Republicans approve of his handling of the issue.

The CNN Poll was conducted by SSRS from July 1 through July 31 among a random national sample of 1,279 adults initially reached by mail.

Surveys were either conducted online or by telephone with a live interviewer. Results for the total sample have a margin of sampling error of plus or minus 3.7 percentage points.

For the example of 547 Republicans and Republican-leaning independents, it is plus or minus 5.7 points.

They don’t care if we know or not. They have achieved their goal of perpetually winning ‘elections’ by ‘any means necessary’.

Their ‘democracy’ is secure...............

never forget the reason for the left’s treason, the peaceful protest for election integrity.

To date, we have not seen fraud on a scale that could have affected a different outcome in the election... - Bill Barr

Perhaps he was conveniently only extrapolating/projecting incidents that might have altered the popular vote.

Fraud was not the only issue in play. Perhaps Barr also wasn't looking beyond the votes, at the actions of certain key election states, which actions were in violation of those state Constitutions and election statutes. Those actions almost certainly would have invalidated significant, deciding electoral votes.

Yeah, it’s way more than 1/3.

You have to remember, Democrats lie about everything and RINOs are happy it was stolen, just the same as Democrats.

When 'democracy' is defined as 'liberal elite power' you're right any cheating is acceptable to them.

“Believe” suggests uncertainty.

I’m in the Firmly Believe and KNOW category.

Understated. There is a significant chunk of people who will not admit publicly to believing 2020 was stolen.

Half Americans see Biden as an illegitimate President who should be replaced by the winner of 2020—Donald Trump. The was I see it—it’s a three act play. Act one The Good King Takes the throne. Act Two, The Usurper and evil wizard (Dr. Death) pull him from power. Act Three, The return of the King, usurper toppled, little people help to restore order in a happyland. All is set right. It’s a bit Like Robin Hood. Biden Plays bad Prince John, Obama the Sheriff of Nottingham, Melania plays Maid Marion, Tucker Carlson plays Robin Hood, and Donald Trump, plays King Richard Lion heart.

So does that say 2/3 of the US voters are still clueless about it?
