As he explained, "We wanted to take a look at how confident people feel about their votes being fairly and accurately counted in this election, obviously a big conversation: Very confident, 50 percent of voters nationwide in this midterm election very confident that their state elections are fair and accurate. 30 percent are somewhat confident -- so eight in ten have a level of confidence, 13 percent not very confident and 6 percent are not at all confident."
"We also wanted to ask the straight-up question: do you believe Joe Biden was legitimately elected president back in 2020?" he said while standing in front of the studio display. "You see the results here: 63 percent of voters across the country, yes, believe Joe Biden was indeed legitimately elected. But a third of voters in this election do not believe that Joe Biden was the legitimately elected president in 2020, which brings in this concern about democracy."
"David Chalian, thanks so much," CNN host Jake Tapped interjected. "That is a shocking number."But if these numbers are correct, the clear majority of voters are neither MAGAheads nor idiots.
Yet on Twitter, which, like the Upper East Side in New York, is convinced it is the nation (if not the world), you’d have to conclude the entire country is voting for Trump and Idiocracy is already upon us.
Which is probably why I don’t find this a shocking number at all, but a reassuring one.
