A new Gallup poll finds that 59% of people in the United States believe that votes for the November election will be cast and counted accurately, matching an all-time low. Only some 44% of Republican and Republican-leaning voters share that view, a record low for either party.

The survey ascribes the lack of confidence among Republicans to the president’s assailing of mail-in voting, which certainly is at least partly true. Perhaps the rise in confidence among Democrats, from 66% in 2018 to 74% this year, is owed to Trump, too, as a kind of defiance of his posturing on mail-in voting.
