Most Republicans back President Trump’s fight to prove election fraud.
A new and wide-ranging Pew Research Center survey said that 66% of Republicans approve of Trump’s post-election message of investigating fraud and refusing to concede to Joe Biden, who won the Electoral College vote yesterday.
“Specifically, among Republicans and those who lean Republican, 66% say Trump’s message has been completely or mostly right, while 32% say it has been mostly or completely wrong,” said Pew.
“Republicans who describe their political ideology as moderate or liberal are far more likely to disapprove of Trump’s messaging than conservative Republicans (51% vs. 20%),” added Pew.
White House insiders have said that Trump may never concede, even if he leaves the White House. They said that the Trump team plans to continue pressing voter fraud cases after he leaves office. He may even make it the cornerstone of a 2024 comeback campaign.
Many Republicans apparently like that plan. They told Pew that voter fraud allegations are not being investigated enough and are being ignored by the media.
“More than half of Republicans (58%) say those allegations have received too little attention,” said Pew.
Overall, 64% said that Trump’s message has been wrong since the election, and that includes 91% of Democrats.
