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.”

"There was no evidence of rampant voter fraud in 2020"
The media and the government refuse to look into any allegations of fraud whatsoever. What are we supposed to think?
There was no evidence of rampant voter fraud in 2020, an assessment backed up by former President Donald Trump’s Justice Department.
Editorialize much?
Well, the voters were not the one committing the crime.
Trump won in a landslide.
If Trump were to run again and win. His entire Presidency must be focused on doing nothing but locking up commie democrats and permanently closing every federal agency in existence and yes the FBI must be the first to go. That's it, nothing else matters.
1/3rd? Last poll I saw said it was over half.
58% are brainwash TV News propaganda dummies.
We were all asked to pretend we did not know what was happening as weeks went by.
Since then everyone is threatened with not accepting a narrative we know to be untrue. Every call for transparency has been met with more obfuscation, lies, and attacks on peoples livelihood.
Today, most people accept that the election in 1960 was rigged. I think that it wont take decades to accept the same about 2020.
There is $h!tloads of evidence.
This is more like it.
This Us News is a crock of dreck.
Completely fraudulent….
We know it
Tens of millions of voters know it
But the media and 98% of congress critters still deny the evidence exists
It’ll be generations before the truth is acknowledged
“How does Biden get ten million more votes than Trump who got ten million more votes than he did in 2016.“
Easy… have Biden ballots printed up beforehand and wait til 4am, after all the voters have gone to bed knowing they re-elected Donald Trump and haul them into voting stations for democrats to count… and re-count… until Plugs has more votes than any other Presidential candidate EVER. - without campaigning one lick.
Only a third? Wow, 2/3rds are deceived? That’s bad news.
“...There was no evidence of rampant voter fraud in 2020...”
Completely ignoring the Arizona audit that proved there were at least 76000 ballots (in just one county alone) that were invalid and should have been thrown out.
The communist puppet Biden stole Arizona by barely 10000 ballots.
<>There was no evidence of rampant voter fraud in 2020, an assessment backed up by former President Donald Trump’s Justice Department.<>
The same Justice Department that found Epstein committed suicide.
