79 % said they believe Biden won the election
13 % said they believe the election is undecided.
3 % said they believe Trump won the election.
5 % said they don't know.

Error is +/- 5 %.

I'm sure that's the majority consensus across the nation.

However, when it comes to polls, it's really 80% of the 1,363 Americans who were polled.

Most US polls consist of only 1000 to 1500 people out of 328,200,000.

When Trump won, we all said it was the Russians that rigged the election.

When Biden won, now the conservatives are saying this was voting fraud and error in the voting system.

It goes both ways.

I'd like to think there's a good percentage who don't put much stock in either scenario.

Trump's base is more than 20% of America, so doesn't this just mean not all of them are guano-minded? (Just more than half)

It would be interesting to see the full results (including all questions), given it is possible to "lead" respondants to desired responces...


The audience targetted\who responded could also have impacted the result, given the "reliability" of polls with regards to the lead up to the election (Democrat easy win, taking Texas and Florida)...After all, I doubt a majority of those who voted for Mr Trump would be likely to agree with the premise while there are challenges underway\suggestions of potential fraud to be investigated.
