“7 out of 10 Americans are not sure about accepting Trump’s midterm election results.”

WP-ABC-Ipsos poll

(Seoul = Yonhap News) Reporter Kim A-ram = A poll showed that seven out of 10 Americans are not confident that President Donald Trump will accept the results if the Republican Party loses in the midterm elections in November.

The Washington Post (WP), an American daily, reported on the 20th (local time) that the results of a recent public opinion poll jointly conducted with ABC News and public opinion research agency Ipsos showed this.

70% of respondents said they were not sure whether President Trump would accept the election results if the Republican Party were to lose in the midterm elections.

36% of Republican supporters responded this way, as did 77% of independents and 94% of Democratic supporters.

The response of trusting the fairness and accuracy of the election was 70% among Democratic supporters and 67% among Republican supporters, with little difference between the two sides.

President Trump has questioned the credibility of the election without providing specific evidence.

He has repeatedly falsely claimed that he won the 2020 presidential election, and has also claimed that he received more votes in the 2016 presidential election than the official count.

In an NBC News interview last February, when asked if he would trust the results if the Republican Party lost the election, he answered, "I would if the election was conducted honestly."

Meanwhile, 35% of respondents expected the Democratic Party to win the majority in the House of Representatives as a result of this election, and 16% expected the Republican Party to maintain its majority. 28% expected a close race.

This survey was conducted on 2,545 American adults from the 9th to the 13th, and has a margin of error of ±2%.
