Doubts rise over Biden’s 2020 election victory – poll

2020 US election news

Only 62% of Americans believe the president was legitimately elected, a new survey has shown.

Only about six in ten Americans believe that Joe Biden was fairly elected as president in 2020, indicating declining voter confidence in his legitimacy as he seeks reelection this year, a new Washington Post poll has shown.

The survey, conducted last month with the University of Maryland and released on Tuesday, found that 62% of US adults believe Biden was legitimately elected as president. That compares with 69% when the same question was asked two years ago.

The results follow three years of legacy media coverage defending Biden’s 2020 victory and dismissing allegations of election fraud by former President Donald Trump as totally unsubstantiated. The poll also comes at a time when Biden is trailing Trump in the 2024 presidential race, despite the fact that his Republican rival faces felony indictments in four separate criminal cases, including two in which he’s accused of conspiring to overturn his 2020 loss.

Just 31% of Republicans believe Biden was legitimately elected, down from 39% two years ago, the WaPo poll showed. The percentage of independents who say the 2020 election result was valid dropped to 66 from 72. Even among Democrats, confidence in Biden’s legitimacy fell to 91% from 94%.

With voter frustrations rising over an illegal immigration crisis and high inflation, Biden’s reelection campaign is focusing largely on portraying Trump as a threat to democracy. However, voter attitudes over Trump’s role in the January 2021 US Capitol riot are softening, according to the WaPo poll. Just 37% of US adults believe the ex-president bears a “great deal” of responsibility for the riot, down from 45% when the same question was asked a week after the incident.

Biden has lost support in the demographic segments that underpinned his 2020 election victory, a new USA Today poll has shown. Just 57% of black voters currently support the incumbent, compared with the 87% Biden carried in 2020. Biden now trails Trump by nine percentage points among Hispanic voters, a turnabout from the 65%-32% margin of victory that the Democrat previously carried in the segment. Voters under age 35, who overwhelmingly supported Biden in 2020, favor Trump by a six-point margin currently, the poll showed.

Biden has expressed frustration with polls showing him getting low marks from voters on his economic policies, suggesting that media coverage is to blame. White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre claimed in multiple media interviews on Tuesday that Biden had achieved more in three years than other presidents had done in eight years. “We get that it’s gonna take a little bit of time for folks to feel what the Bidenomics has been able to do,” she told MSNBC.

  1. All that matters is what happens at 3am on election night, because you can bet your a** they’re going to do it again.

  2. I remember it well. I went to bed and Trump was well ahead, a shoe-in. Woke up the next day and Biden wins with a record 81 million votes. Lol

  3. There were so many suspicious things going on that night that if you believe biden won you are just plain stupid and probably always will be.

  4. Marxism have rules beyond reproach.
    1. The covid vaccine is Safe and Effective.
    2. Man made Climate Change.
    3. Basement Biden won the 2020 election fairly.

    • Michael Yon mentions the Book “Rape of the Mind”
      Isn’t this the very same tactics that were employed against Us during the Covid Plandemic and associated Lockdowns?
      Gun control precedes takeover and control
      Christchurch was a False Flag psyop evidenced by online forensics to employ weapons proven to be fake replica air guns incapable of discharging ‘live ‘ rounds nor inflicting injury nor death
      The same type of weapon used in the Charlie Hebdo False Flag
      Greg Hallett in the video ‘Christchurch Feminist Fraudsters’
      Says that Chinas plan is to invade NZ
      Kill all the inhabitants
      And mine it as an open cast mine
      And who would be there to stop them realizing their ambitions?

      • Another area for concern is the charges bought against the Counterspin hosts
        Which were clearly and unequivocally entrapment
        Because the charges were laid after the Law had been changed
        Labeled ‘far right activists’ they are accused of distributing objectionable material and failing to comply with police orders
        They were accused of sharing a version of the full live-stream footage of the Christchurch mosque attacks which supposedly if the Official narrative is to be believed killed 51 people
        The video is proven to be a CGI fake featuring cartoon like characteristics which has been edited and obviously tpre recorded at an earlier date
        So if it has been pre recorded and edited how could it possibly have been streamed ‘Live”?
        This is clearly a politically motivated witch-hunt
        The Law Courts having been infiltrated into becoming the political strong arm to impose the will and reflect the mentality of the fascist communist regime and tendancies permeating the suppression of free speech and thinking in NZ

        • What happend to Counterspin’s equipment that was unlawfully confiscated for no apparent logical reason pertaining to the trumped up charges?
          Why hasn’t it been returned?
