A new poll found that two-thirds of Republicans close to the former president believe the 2020 presidential election, which ousted Trump, was invalid.
More than two-thirds of Republicans said in a new poll that the 2020 presidential election was invalid.
According to the Hill website, a R-Street poll by a free-market group found that 67 percent of Republicans consider the November 3 election invalid, while only 23 percent disagree.
About half of Republicans said they believed their votes were counted, while 42 percent said the US voting system was corrupt and their votes were not counted anyway.
A note from Tyson Group, which was responsible for conducting the poll, said, “President Trump’s allegations have had a profound effect on his base’s views on the election. In all regions, participants (in the poll) generally opposed alternative voting methods, believing that they would lead to fraud in the election process and feeling that the 2020 election results were invalid.”
According to the report, the former US president and his allies claim that he won the election, but it was stolen due to systematic fraud.
The R-Street poll of 1,200 Republican voters was conducted across the United States from January 25 to February 5, with a margin of error of 2.83.
Earlier, opinion polls showed that 76 percent of Republicans would support Trump if he ran again in the 2024 presidential election. 12% answered no to this question and another 12% said they have not decided yet.
The former president plans to deliver a public speech next Sunday for the first time since leaving the White House, and according to a source familiar with Trump’s plans, he will address a major Republican convention on February 28.
The unnamed source explained: “He (Trump) will talk about the future of the Republican Party and the Conservative movement. Also look forward to challenging President [Joe] Biden’s catastrophic policies.”
After being acquitted in the Senate impeachment hearing, Trump said in a statement that he would return to politics with the promise of “emerging with a clear vision for the future of the United States.”
