53% of Republicans view Trump as true U.S. president -Reuters/Ipsos

How is this possible? Because they are being told to believe it by FOX , Newsmax, OAN, and right-wing radio. It's too bad they do not have to tell the truth. Even worse, they do not have to not tell a lie. I am at the point where I do not believe Democrats can fix this problem. It is a problem of the Republicans. It is up to them to fix it.

A majority of Republicans still believe Donald Trump won the 2020 U.S. presidential election and blame his loss to Joe Biden on illegal voting, according to a new Reuters/Ipsos opinion poll.

The May 17-19 national poll found that 53% of Republicans believe Trump, their party's nominee, is the “true president” now, compared to 3% of Democrats and 25% of all Americans.

Why does no one ask them this question?

If trump won then he can’t run again.

Right?

Bueller? Bueller?

If you had asked me in 2017 who was the real president, I would have said, “Hillary Clinton.” Just like those Republicans, I would have known my answer was not true, but I’d never have said the former guy. Stop poling these jerks.

And I’d go further that they lose their citizenship. Lucky for them my beliefs do not carry the force of law, just like these idiots can believe what they want (unfortunately) but it doesn’t matter legally.

8. Highly Questionable Poll
Wed May 26, 2021, 07:22 PM
May 2021

First 53% of under 24% is only about 1 in 8 voters. It's not hard to envision 1 in 8 as politically nuts.
Second, the overall numbers of the poll don't square with 4 other polls showing Biden's approval at 60% or higher.
It requires too high a fraction of independents to approve of Biden to square with historical results.
Third, 3% of dems think T***p is still POTUS? I think not. That just doesn't make sense given a nearly 8 million vote win & approval of at least 3 in 5 voters.
So, it's not really that big a number, and I question their results across the board.
