Even Democrats and Independents Support Candidates Who Think the 2020 Election Was Stolen: New York Times Poll

More than a third of independent voters and a significant percentage of Democrats are open to supporting candidates who challenge the validity of the 2020 election, according to The New York Times (NYT).

Far-left NYT doesn’t like reporting it, so the news org biasedly characterizes growing doubts among Americans regarding the validity of the 2020 election results as an “infection” and a “risk” to democracy, but reports the phenomenon nonetheless because it’s undeniable.

From The New York Times:

[M]ore than a third of independent voters and a smaller but noteworthy contingent of Democrats said they were open to supporting candidates who reject the legitimacy of the 2020 election, as they assigned greater urgency to their concerns about the economy than to fears about the fate of the country’s political system.

The doubts about elections that have infected American politics since the 2020 contest show every sign of persisting well into the future, the poll suggested: Twenty-eight percent of all voters, including 41 percent of Republicans, said they had little to no faith in the accuracy of this year’s midterm elections.

...

Seventy-one percent of all voters said democracy was at risk — but just 7 percent identified that as the most important problem facing the country.

...

Seventy-one percent of Republicans said they would be comfortable voting for a candidate who thought that year’s election was stolen, as did 37 percent of independent voters and a notable 12 percent of Democrats.

Even among voters who think Mr. Biden won legitimately, 19 percent were comfortable casting a ballot for a candidate who believed the election was stolen. That number included 10 percent of Democrats, 22 percent of independents and 43 percent of Republicans who believed the 2020 election was fair.
