GOP trust in election accuracy rises after Trump's victory: Survey
Share and Follow


(The Hill) – A growing number of Republicans say they’re confident that the votes in the 2024 presidential election were counted accurately in the wake of President-elect Trump’s victory in November, according to a new poll released on Friday.

The poll from The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research found that 64 percent of Republicans surveyed said they either had a great deal or quite a bit of confidence that the votes were counted accurately nationwide, compared to 24 percent who said the same when surveyed in October.

Notably, fewer Democrats — 60 percent — said the same nationwide in this latest poll.

Trump has publicly questioned or aired inaccurate claims about the 2020 election results, leading many within his party to also contest the legitimacy of the 2020 election.

His claims about the 2020 election ultimately encouraged supporters to ransack the Capitol to stop Congress from certifying President Biden’s 2020 win. This cycle, Jan. 6 – the deadline Congress has to certify the election — will be receiving significantly less scrutiny or fanfare.

The AP-NORC poll found more Republicans had greater confidence that their votes were counted in their state — 66 percent — while 71 percent said they had confidence that their votes were counted accurately by their local election officials.

Overall, 57 percent of respondents said they were confident votes were counted accurately nationwide, 63 percent said the same regarding their state and 67 percent said so concerning their local election officials.

The AP-NORC poll was conducted between Dec. 5 and Dec. 9 with 1,251 adults surveyed. The margin of error is plus or minus 3.7 percentage points.
