CNN Poll: Percentage of Republicans who think Biden's 2020 win was illegitimate ticks back up near 70%
The share of Republicans and Republican-leaning independents who believe that President Joe Biden’s 2020 election win was not legitimate has ticked back up, according to a new CNN poll fielded throughout July.
The share of Republicans and Republican-leaning independents who believe that President Joe Biden’s 2020 election win was not legitimate has ticked back up, according to a new CNN poll fielded throughout July. All told, 69% of Republicans and Republican-leaners say Biden’s win was not legitimate, up from 63% earlier this year and through last fall, even as there is no evidence of election fraud that would have altered the outcome of the contest.
You're viewing a single thread.
The really shocking thing here is that 31% of Republicans are still aware of reality enough to understand that Biden won legitimately.
Like 70% also believe angels are real...
Apparently decades of No Child Left Behind and removing critical thinking from public education did what republicans wanted it to do
You're assuming they actually believe what they are saying and are arguing in good faith. That hasn't been in the Republican playbook since at least Nixon.
Not to defend No Child Left Behind but it was only a 2002 law, the majority of these people are too old to have been in school since its passage.
Normalize questioning random ideas about politics people toss out
Yes but that change affected anyone in school at the time as well. No Child Left Behind touched the schooling of people up to the age of 38. That's roughly half of Americans. You would need to remove people not of voting age, but the impact is still huge.
It was repealed & replaced in 2015 anyway so it was only in effect for 13 years and over half of states had waivers for it by then anyway. Once again not defending the state of public education or laws passed affecting it, just making sure we all know the facts.
But if it wasn't for that, republicans wouldn't be getting elected still...
Obviously I didn't mean the only people who believe this shit is the kids from No Child, mostly because red states were already doing it on a state level.
But there's enough of them that it's keeping republicans in office where they wouldn't be without it.
Very very few problems have a single cause, again, I thought that was so obvious it wouldn't need to be explained. But here we are...
Don't worry, they're fixing this by burning books. We'll be back to the 50's in no time!
You act like it's limited to the younger generations of Republicans.
Doesn't help that they are allowing Trump to run around the country to continue to say he was cheated and that the election was stolen. They are literally waiting until next year to even put him on trial.
Plenty of time for him to cause as much harm as possible.
Those 30% will still vote R, even after knowing that they have been lied to by the republicans.
When republicans voters call others “cucks”, you know it’s all a projection.
They've largely stopped using "cuck" as an insult since the high mark of their movement involved a guy wearin' horns.
Or they're just embarrassed to admit what they really think.
Are they capable of shame? Seems like they revel in the absolute worst behavior possible.
