More than a third of Americans believe President Joe Biden’s victory was illegitimate, according to a new poll conducted almost a year since rioters breached the U.S. Capitol as Congress worked to certify the 2020 election.
A new University of Massachusetts Amherst poll released Tuesday highlights how partisanship has hardened in the year since the deadly Jan. 6 attack and the stark breakdown on how Democrats and Republicans view that day and the results of last November’s presidential race.
Fifty-eight percent of respondents surveyed across the country believe Biden’s victory was legitimate, while 33% contend it was illegitimate – numbers that have held steady since the university’s last poll on the subject in April. Of Republicans polled, an overwhelming majority of them – 71% – still contest the 2020 election results. Only 21% believe Biden’s win was legitimate.
For respondents who still question the legitimacy, the top reason cited was voter fraud, specifically fraudulent ballots favoring Biden that were “counted by election officials in certain states.” There was no evidence of rampant voter fraud in 2020, an assessment backed up by former President Donald Trump’s Justice Department.
“Regardless of the truth of the situation, public officials need to shore up faith in how we vote,” said Raymond La Raja, a political science professor at UMass Amherst and associate director of the poll. “These are extremely worrisome perceptions, and improved faith in the electoral process won’t happen until Republicans stop saying the election was stolen.”

Wasn’t 25% of the country convinced Barry wasn’t a US citizen? Maybe it was 10% but it was appreciable. Nonetheless, no one cares. Nothing’s going to change. The Dems are allowed to cheat without repercussions.
US news.
Double it.
“ Nonetheless, no one cares. Nothing’s going to change.”
That’s the spirit.
“No evidence “
Especially when they work to suppress the evidence
Democrats still question the legitimacy of Trump’s presidency! It was two years before Democrats accepted the legitimacy of George W. Bush’s presidency. Credit to Trump for doing to the Democrats what the Democrats have done to the Republicans for the last 10 presidential election cycles.
Assuming the GOP takes the House and/or Senate next year I hope there’s a thorough investigation....GA,PA,MI,WI and AZ.
And this is with an Orwellian clampdown on even talking about it.
The matter has not been adjuticated fully on a court of law. Of course there are questions.
I dont question it
I know he stole it
It was only deadly because Nancy ordered her hit man to kill one of them.
The Constitution does not say US citizen, it says natural born citizen.
I am sure he is not a natural born citizen, unconvinced he is even a US citizen, when he came back from Indonesia he was an Indonesian citizen.
which means...it will be a struggle....but 58% of those polled need to be eliminated from the gene pool in order for this country to survive......Lets all pray for divine intervention.../s
Just do the math. How does Biden get ten million more votes than Trump who got ten million more votes than he did in 2016.
I think that Powerline cited a poll where much larger numbers questioned the 2020 Election.
I question the legitimacy of ANY election that allows voting without ID, mass mailing of ballots, dropboxes and vote harvesting.
On top of this, we had a campaign of fake news propaganda that was unlike anything else in history. Non-stop hoaxes disguised as “News” also made for a grossly unfair election.
Maybe the media isn’t all that powerful.
In June of last year [2017], the new poll found, 53 percent of voters believed that Russia interfered in the election. Now that figure has shot up to 65 percent. And many more Americans — a third more than last year — now specifically believe that Russia's interference tilted the election in Trump's favor.
