About 50 Percent
About 50 percent of respondents who identified themselves as Republican believed that their vote would be miscounted the next time they cast it. Republicans’ confidence in the electoral system has dwindled. Only 41 percent of those surveyed in the most recent poll believe their vote will be counted fairly, a significant drop from 84 percent in 2020.
According to the Survey concerning the November 2022 midterm elections, 66 percent of the total number of registered voters expressed confidence that their vote would be correctly counted. This is a decrease from the previous figure of 85 percent in October 2020.
The figures presented are alarmingly high. They suggest that the legitimacy of a presidential election is questioned by a large majority of Americans in one political party, as per New York Times. Independents’ level of distrust has risen slightly as well, 84 percent confident and 13 percent not confident in October 2020 to 76 percent confident and 22 percent in 2021, respectively.
