Trump asserts that 82% of Americans acknowledge the 2020 election as rigged
Former President Donald Trump Claims 82% of Americans Believe the 2020 Election was Rigged
During a recent campaign stop in Greensboro, North Carolina, former President Donald Trump reiterated his belief that the 2020 presidential election, which he lost to Joe Biden, was stolen. Trump confidently stated, “82% of the country understands that it was a rigged election.”
Trump’s remarks come as he continues to face legal challenges in Georgia and Washington, D.C., regarding his alleged efforts to undermine the election results. He questioned why those who seek to uncover the truth about election fraud are targeted, suggesting a connection to his own legal troubles.
While the specific poll Trump referenced remains unclear, a November 2021 survey by the Public Religion Research Institute revealed that 82% of Republicans who trust Fox News believed the election was stolen from Trump. This percentage significantly differed from the overall response rate of 31% among all participants.
Interestingly, the same survey conducted the previous year showed that only 65% of Republicans who trust Fox News believed the election was rigged, indicating a notable increase in skepticism over time.
As Trump continues to gain momentum in his bid for the 2024 Republican nomination, his recent victories in Missouri, Idaho, and Michigan’s Republican Party convention have brought him closer to securing the necessary delegates. If he maintains his lead over former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley, Trump is likely to face Biden once again in the general election.
