Just 21 Percent of Republicans Say Biden 'Probably' or 'Definitely' Won in 2020: PollLess than a quarter of Republicans believe that President Joe Biden's 2020 election win was legitimate, new polling shows.
Former President Donald Trump and many of his key alliessuch as MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell and right-wing strategist Steve Bannoncontinue to spread conspiracies and misinformation about the 2020 election. They claim that Biden won through widespread voter fraud, but no evidence has emerged to substantiate that allegation.
Nonetheless, their false claims have resonated with GOP voters, new polling from the University of Massachusetts at Amherst shows. The survey results, released Tuesday, reveal that only 6 percent of Republicans believe Biden's victory over Trump was "definitely legitimate." Additionally, 15 percent of GOP respondents said the president's win was "probably legitimate." In total, just 21 percent of Republicans said that Biden "definitely" or "probably" beat Trump.
Meanwhile, the overwhelming majority of Republicans do not believe Biden won in 2020. The poll shows that 46 percent said that the president's win was "definitely not legitimate," and another 25 percent said it was "probably not legitimate." Altogether, 71 percent do not believe or strongly doubt that Biden beat Trump. Another 6 percent said they are "not sure."

(29,219 posts)it is a surprisingly large number.
However, there are still those "rational" republicans who will not be active in the party, still watch Faux News, and will vote republican even if they are never trumpers or part of the radical right.

(65,159 posts)I know many reflexive R voters. A couple dozen, at least.
ONE thinks TFG actually won. So, somehow only 3 or 4% of Rs I know believe the Big Lie? These 25-30 people are that different from the Rs overall?
Nearly impossible to believe I'm that lucky.
Besides, Pew & Gallup both had polls earlier this year showing that only 24% of adults self-identify as Rs.
Even if this 79% was real, it's still only 19% of adults.
The focus should be on the 81% who aren't crazy.
