American confidence in the accuracy of the upcoming election matches the low last seen in 2008, a Gallup poll released Thursday revealed.

The survey, taken September 14-28, among 1,023 adults, found U.S. confidence in the accuracy of the upcoming presidential election matching a record low, last seen in 2008.

“How confident are you that, across the country, the votes for president will be accurately cast and counted in this year’s election — very confident, somewhat confident, not too confident or not at all confident?” the survey asked.

While a majority, 59 percent, indicated that they are either “very” or “somewhat” confident, that is down from the 70 percent who said the same around the 2018 election. Confidence varies drastically by party affiliation, with 74 percent of Democrat and Democrat-leaners expressing confidence but only 44 percent of Republican and Republican-leaners saying the same.

Gallup reported:

The 11-percentage-point drop since 2018 in the national figure on confidence in election accuracy is largely driven by a 34-point drop among Republicans and Republican-leaning independents. The GOP’s current 44% level of confidence is the lowest Gallup has recorded for identifiers/leaners of either major political party in its trend dating back to 2004.

Much of the lack of confidence is related to the mass move to vote-by-mail, with 55 percent viewing absentee ballots arriving late as a “major problem.” A majority, or 53 percent, also view “people casting fraudulent votes” as a “major” issue:

The majority of Republicans have no confidence that the votes will be accurately cast and counted in November. November is not going to be a dull month, that's for sure.

Here’s a novel idea, go vote in person.

this is what the democrats want, uncertainty creates opportunity to challenge an election.

IF the rats get their way, there will NEVER be a free and fair election ever again. Freedom will be just a pleasant memory.

If the Democrats win, then their violence will be reinforced and re-used when needed.

If the Democrats lose, then their violence is justified as this nation is unjust (in their view).

Either way, the marxist revolution begins
