I know polls are getting beat up right now ….
But this Reuters/Ipsos poll works with the popular vote margin of Biden over Trump and the electoral vote…
Donald Trump is not fooling the vast majority of Americans a week later…
He LOST….
Nearly 80% of Americans, including more than half of Republicans, recognize President-elect Joe Biden as the winner of the Nov. 3 election after most media organizations called the race for the Democrat based on his leads in critical battleground states, according to a Reuters/Ipsos poll.
Biden – who needed 270 Electoral College votes to win – had 279 of those votes to 214 for Trump with results in three states not yet complete, according to Edison Research. In the popular vote, Biden got 76.3 million, or 50.7% of the total, to 71.6 million, or 47.6%, for Trump.
The Reuters/Ipsos national opinion survey, which ran from Saturday afternoon to Tuesday, found that 79% of U.S. adults believe Biden won the White House. Another 13% said the election has not yet been decided, 3% said Trump won and 5% said they do not know.
The results were somewhat split along party lines: about six in 10 Republicans and almost every Democrat said Biden won.

You’re still publishing”polls?”
What a joke!
Hell the other day Morning Consult said 70% of Republicans don’t believe the Election was “free and fair”( since they believe that ,they should urge the House not to seat those newly elected Republican congresspeople) .

Hey Jack?
Gonna be polls forever!

Well since you’re still in to polls?
YouGov says 86% of Trumps voters don’t think Biden has been elected “legitimately.”
8 in 10 don’t want Trump to concede.
Of course all this will end on Jan 20.
Naieve much?
jamesb says
Woa!

Anyone have a link to that poll?

I saw it on Political Wire

Those results are completely and totally contradictory to the Ipsos/Reuters survey cited here and being referenced much on television, etc.
One of them has bad data.
I would wonder though how the word “legitimately” affects things.
Over the past several elections, I think partisans of one side or the other, especially right after the outcome, might find results going against their wishes to not be legitimate.
But of course Biden was elected legitimately, just as Trump was in 2016, and GWB was in 2000 and 2004.

Well there are polls and then there are polls.

He, he, he….
An anchor on Fox News has gone viral after she was caught on a hot microphone expressing disbelief that a guest on the network would cast doubt on projections that Joe Biden has been elected president.
During Saturday’s coverage of the incoming election results, anchors Sandra Smith and Trace Gallagher hosted Cleta Mitchell, a conservative attorney who has been promoting President Trump’s unproven claims of voter fraud in the presidential election.
“Remember just because CNN or even Fox News says somebody is president, does not mean they’re president,” Mitchell said while appearing on the program.
“What?” Smith, who was not conducting the interview of Mitchell, was caught on her microphone saying. “What is happening? Trace, we’ve called it.”….

This is the thing about Pennsylvania… The GOP did well outside the prez race. In the U.S. House races, the GOP candidates are getting 117k more votes than the Dem candidates. Fact is the prez race was just different. Lots of potential GOP voters just couldn’t stomach Trump.
